Synergy of CP-DGPS, Accelerometry and Magnetic Sensors for Precise Trajectography in Ski Racing
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the conceptual and technical aspects of a system in development that precisely determines athlete’s trajectory through a course. Carrier phase-based (CP-DGPS) positioning represents core of the system, while tri-axial accelerometer and magnetic sensors act as an autonomous aid that offers instantaneous attitude determination and can potentially help when navigating through GPS signal blackout zones. Trajectory representation by a set of continuous functions with geometrical constrains supplies an effective tool that removes outliers and discontinuities in the positioning and offers better base for deriving acceleration profiles. Successfully tested in competitive skiing, the concept is also applicable in other fields for tracking objects on restricted trajectory.

Using Inertial Sensors for Reconstructing 3d Full-body Movement in Sports – Possibilities and Limitations on the Example of Alpine Ski Racing
The present study investigates if inertial sensors could be used for reconstructing 3D full body movements in sports. On the example of alpine ski racing, it was demonstrated that inertial sensors allow computing meaningful parameters related to a skier’s overall posture. While some parameters were obtained with sufficient accuracy and precision, others were not obtained reliably using inertial...
متن کاملImproving the Accuracy of Low-cost Gnss by Fusion with Inertial and Magnetic Sensors in Alpine Ski Racing
For analysing performance in alpine ski racing, an accurate estimation of the skier’s centre of mass trajectory and speed is indispensable. However, the sole use of low-cost GNSS might not be accurate enough to detect meaningful differences. The aim of this study was to introduce a new system that can improve the accuracy of a low-cost GNSS to an acceptable level. To this end, the data obtained...
