인체 머리부 6 자유도 운동 측정의 신뢰성 향상을 위한 가속도계 감도축의 옵셋(offset) 추정

Abstract

Motion sickness is well known to be caused by long time exposure to the very low frequency motion in the multiple axes of human body. Since the vestibular system for the perception of low frequency motion is located in the head, accurate measurement of 6 degree of freedom head motion is of great importance. In this study, the measurement system consisting of a safety helmet and 9 translational accelerometers was constructed for the estimation of 3 translational and 3 rotational motions of human head. Since estimation errors of 3 rotational components can be significantly magnified even by small offset of the sensitivity axis from the geometric center of an accelerometer, accurate measurement of sensitivity axis must be preceded. The method for accurate estimation of the offset was proposed, and the effect of offset on the estimation of angular acceleration was investigated.
