An interactive tool for conditioning inertial sensor data for sports applications

Abstract

Measurements with inertial sensors have been used in many sports applications through the last decades. The data extracted from the sensors are used by coaches, players and sports scientists to monitor athletes' performance; this often requires graphical user interfaces for viewing and processing of data. An interactive user interface is presented in this paper for the basic analysis of sensor data (accelerometer). The tool allows for the analysis and understanding of basic data processing including different types of filtering and threshold-based activity classifiers. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the tool, an application for human gait analysis is presented.
