Evaluation of inertial Sensors and optical measurement methods for head and shoulder angle motion analysis

This paper describes the advantages and disadvantages of inertial sensors and stationary camera-based measuring methods for the application of detecting head and shoulder angles. For this purpose three inertial sensor modules from Shimmer Sensing and a Kinect 2 camera system are used. The recorded d...
