In this paper, through an in-depth study and analysis of dance motion capture algorithms in wearable sensor networks, the extended Kalman filter algorithm and the quaternion method are selected after analysing a variety of commonly used data fusion algorithms and pose solving algorithms. In this paper, a sensor-body coordinate system calibration algorithm based on hand-eye calibration is proposed, which only requires three calibration poses to complete the calibration of the whole-body sensor-body coordinate system. In this paper, joint parameter estimation algorithm based on human joint constraints and limb length estimation algorithm based on closed joint chains are proposed, respectively. The algorithm is an iterative optimization algorithm that divides each iteration into an expectation step and a great likelihood step, and the best convergence value can be found efficiently according to each iteration step. The feature values of each pose action are fed into the algorithm for model learning, which enables the training of the model. The trained model is then tested by combining the collected gesture data with the algorithmic model to recognize and classify the gesture data, observe its recognition accuracy, and continuously optimize the model to achieve accurate recognition of human gesture actions.

Optical sensor data fusion technology is a research hotspot in the field of information science in recent years, which is widely used in military and civilian fields because of its advantages of high accuracy and low cost, and target recognition is one of the important research directions. Based on the characteristics of small target optical imaging, this paper fully utilizes the frontier theoretical methods in the field of image processing and proposes a small target recognition algorithm process framework based on visible and infrared image data fusion and improves the accuracy as well as stability of target recognition by improving the multisensor information fusion algorithm in the photoelectric meridian tracking system. A practical guide is provided for the solution of the small target recognition problem. To facilitate and quickly verify the multisensor fusion algorithm, a simulation platform for the intelligent vehicle and the experimental environment is built based on Gazebo software, which can realize the sensor data acquisition and the control decision function of the intelligent vehicle. The kinematic model of the intelligent vehicle is firstly described according to the design requirements, and the camera coordinate system, LiDAR coordinate system, and vehicle body coordinate system of the sensors are established. Then, the imaging models of the depth camera and LiDAR, the data acquisition principles of GPS and IMU, and the time synchronization relationship of each sensor are analyzed, and the error calibration and data acquisition experiments of each sensor are completed.

This chapter presents an alternative framework to the traditional centralised Kalman filtering (CKF) approach for implementing the optimal state estimation algorithm in support of multisensor integration. The data fusion algorithm is implemented via a series of transformations of vectors in the so-called information space (iSpace). This chapter describes how the conventional decentralised Kalman filtering (DKF) algorithm can be derived using a unified approach. A new global optimal fusion (GOF) algorithm is derived using the iSpace approach. Two case studies are presented to illustrate applications of the multisensor algorithms for GNSS/Locata/INS and GNSS/WiFi/INS integration.

Climate change poses a disproportionate risk to alpine ecosystems. Effective monitoring of forest phenological responses to climate change is critical for predicting and managing threats to alpine populations. Remote sensing can be used to monitor forest communities in dynamic landscapes for responses to climate change at the species level. Spatiotemporal fusion technology using remote sensing images is an effective way of detecting gradual phenological changes over time and seasonal responses to climate change. The spatial and temporal adaptive reflectance fusion model (STARFM) is a widely used data fusion algorithm for Landsat and MODIS imagery. This study aims to identify forest phenological characteristics and changes at the species–community level by fusing spatiotemporal data from Landsat and MODIS imagery. We fused 18 images from March to November for 2000, 2010, and 2019. (The resulting STARFM-fused images exhibited accuracies of RMSE = 0.0402 and R2 = 0.795. We found that the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) value increased with time, which suggests that increasing temperature due to climate change has affected the start of the growth season in the study region. From this study, we found that increasing temperature affects the phenology of these regions, and forest management strategies like monitoring phenology using remote sensing technique should evaluate the effects of climate change.

Vehicle parameters are essential for dynamic analysis and control systems. One problem of the current estimation algorithm for vehicles’ parameters is that: real-time estimation methods only identify parts of vehicle parameters, whereas other parameters such as suspension damping coefficients and suspension and tire stiffnesses are assumed to be known in advance by means of an inertial parameter measurement device (IPMD). In this study, a fusion algorithm is proposed for identifying comprehensive vehicle parameters without the help of an IPMD, and vehicle parameters are divided into time-independent parameters (TIPs) and time-dependent parameters (TDPs) based on whether they change over time. TIPs are identified by a hybrid-mass state-variable (HMSV). A dual unscented Kalman filter (DUKF) is applied to update both TDPs and online states. The experiment is conducted on a real two-axle vehicle and the test data are used to estimate both TIPs and TDPs to validate the accuracy of the proposed algorithm. Numerical simulations are performed to further investigate the algorithm’s performance in terms of sprung mass variation, model error because of linearization and various road conditions. The results from both the experiment and simulation show that the proposed algorithm can estimate TIPs as well as update TDPs and online states with high accuracy and quick convergence, and no requirement of road information.

In skiing it is important to know how the skier accelerates and inclines the skis during the turn to avoid injuries and improve technique. The purpose of this pilot study with three participants was to develop and evaluate a compact, wireless, and low-cost system for detecting the inclination and acceleration of skis in the field based on inertial measurement units (IMU). To that end, a commercial IMU board was placed on each ski behind the skier boot. With the use of an attitude and heading reference system algorithm included in the sensor board, the orientation and attitude data of the skis were obtained (roll, pitch, and yaw) by IMU sensor data fusion. Results demonstrate that the proposed IMU-based system can provide reliable low-drifted data up to 11 min of continuous usage in the worst case. Inertial angle data from the IMU-based system were compared with the data collected by a video-based 3D-kinematic reference system to evaluate its operation in terms of data correlation and system performance. Correlation coefficients between 0.889 (roll) and 0.991 (yaw) were obtained. Mean biases from −1.13° (roll) to 0.44° (yaw) and 95% limits of agreements from 2.87° (yaw) to 6.27° (roll) were calculated for the 1-min trials. Although low mean biases were achieved, some limitations arose in the system precision for pitch and roll estimations that could be due to the low sampling rate allowed by the sensor data fusion algorithm and the initial zeroing of the gyroscope.
