Constraint Method

Human body motion tracking is a key technique in robotics, virtual reality and other human–computer interaction fields. This paper proposes a novel simple-structure Kalman filter to improve the accuracy of human body motion tracking, named the Second EStimator of the Optimal Quaternion Kalman Filter (E2QKF). The new algorithm is the combination of the Second Estimator of the Optimal Quaternion (ESOQ-2) algorithm, the linear Kalman filter and the joint angle constraint method. In the proposed filter, the ESOQ-2 algorithm is used to produce an observation quaternion by preprocessing accelerometer and magnetometer measurements. The compensation for the accelerometer added in the ESOQ-2 algorithm is to eliminate the influence of human body motion acceleration included in the results. The state vector of the filter is the quaternion, which is calculated with gyroscope measurements, and the Kalman filter is to calculate the optimal quaternion by fusing the state quaternion and the observation quaternion. Therefore, the filter becomes a simple first-order linear system model, which avoids the linearization error of measurement equations and reduces the computational complexity. Furthermore, the joint angle constraint is considered in the proposed algorithm, which makes the results more accurate. To verify the accuracy of the proposed algorithm, inertial/magnetic sensors are used to perform the upper limb motion experiment, and the result of E2QKF (without joint angle constraint) is compared with an optical motion capture system and two traditional methods. Test results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed filter: the root mean square error (RMSE) of E2QKF is less than 2.0° and the maximum error is less than 4.6°. The result of E2QKF (with joint angle constraint) is compared with E2QKF (without joint angle constraint). Test results demonstrate the superiority of E2QKF (with joint angle constraint): the joint angle constraint method can further improve the accuracy of human body motion tracking.

In this paper, we study the estimation of motion direction prediction for fast motion and propose a threshold-based human target detection algorithm using motion vectors and other data as human target feature information. The motion vectors are partitioned into regions by normalization to form a motion vector field, which is then preprocessed, and then the human body target is detected through its motion vector region block-temporal correlation to detect the human body motion target. The experimental results show that the algorithm is effective in detecting human motion targets in videos with the camera relatively stationary. The algorithm predicts the human body position in the reference frame of the current frame in the video by forward mapping the motion vector of the current frame, then uses the motion vector direction angle histogram as a matching feature, and combines it with a region matching strategy to track the human body target in the predicted region, thus realizing the human body target tracking effect. The algorithm is experimentally proven to effectively track human motion targets in videos with relatively static backgrounds. To address the problem of sample diversity and lack of quantity in a multitarget tracking environment, a generative model based on the conditional variational self-encoder conditional generation of adversarial networks is proposed, and the performance of the generative model is verified using pedestrian reidentification and other datasets, and the experimental results show that the method can take advantage of the advantages of both models to improve the quality of the generated results.
