ABSTRACT
A realtime posture tracking system has been developed using a network of compact wireless sensor devices worn by the user. Each device is a complete inertial/magnetic tracking unit which performs in situ orientation estimation based on its own sensor readings, using a complementary quaternion-based filter. Compared to existing systems which transmit raw sensor data to a PC for processing, it is shown that this technique reduces bandwidth requirements by 79% for typical usage. In combination with a time division multiple access scheme, this reduction allows for full-body tracking using 15 devices at a 64Hz update rate through a single 250kbps receiver. The data is applied to a rigid body model of the subject to provide a realtime display, and can be exported for use in major animation packages.

Joint Sink Mobility and Node Deployment for Prolonging Lifetime in Wireless Sensor Networks
BCGIN '13: Proceedings of the 2013 International Conference on Business Computing and Global InformatizationWhen cluster heads transmit their data to the sink via multi-hop mode, the cluster heads closer to the sink are burdened with heavy relay traffic and tend to die early. In this paper, taking both sink mobility and node deployment into account, we ...
