The light intensity intensities (LI) and different distance range values was measured through Lux Meter (Model TES 1332 between transmitter and receiver (tracker) on which the Digital Lux Meter). performance of an optical tracker strongly depends. Generally, the expected performance of an optical tracker diverges largely if the stray light interference is more. Each optical tracker has limited work capacity under some particular LI [2]. In the experiment, the 6-DoF data is predicted through different machine learning methods under different light intensity and distance variation between sensor and transmitter to virtually judge the performance of an optical tracker [3].

Bevilacqua ‡‡ Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 12180 This paper presents a novel six degrees of freedom ground-based experimental testbed, designed for testing new guidance, navigation, and control algorithms for nano-satellites. The development of innovative guidance, navigation and control methodologies is a necessary step in the advance of autonomous spacecraft. The testbed allows for testing these algorithms in a one-g laboratory environment, increasing system reliability while reducing development costs. The system stands out among the existing experimental platforms because all degrees of freedom of motion are dynamically reproduced. The hardware and software components of the testbed are detailed in the paper, as well as the motion tracking system used to perform its navigation. A Lyapunov-based strategy for closed loop control is used in hardware-in-the loop experiments to successfully demonstrate the system’s capabilities.

    Motion tracking in field sports using GPS and IMU M. Roobeek Master of Science Thesis Delft Center for Systems and Control Motion tracking in field sports using GPS and IMU Master of Science Thesis For the degree of Master of Science in Systems & Control at Delft University of Technology M. Roobeek February 16, 2017 Faculty of Mechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineering (3mE) · Delft University of Technology The work in this thesis was conducted on behalf of, and carried out in cooperation with JOHAN Sports. Their cooperation is hereby gratefully acknowledged. Copyright c Delft Center for Systems and Control (DCSC) All rights reserved. Abstract Injuries are a sportsman’s worst nightmare: They withhold players from playing, they weaken teams and they force clubs to buy a bench-full of substitutes. On top of that, injuries can cause an awful lot of pain. Regulating match and training intensity can drastically decrease the risk of getting injured. Furthermore, it can optimally prepare players for matchday. To enable player load regulation, accurate measurements of player positions, velocities and especially accelerations are required. To measure these quantities, JOHAN Sports develops a sports player motion tracking system. The device that is used for motion tracking contains a 9-DoF MEMS Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and a GPS receiver. These low-cost MEMS sensors are combined via sensor fusion. The challenge in this filtering problem lies in the limited and low-quality sensor measurements combined with the high-dynamic player motion consisting of rapid orientation changes and sensed impacts in every step. Being able to overcome these challenges paves the way for injury prevention, saving sports clubs, teams and players a lot of misery.

  • Augmented and Virtual Reality in Operations
    Augmented and Virtual Reality in Operations A guide for investment Introduction Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality (AR/VR) are not new, but recent advances in computational power, storage, graphics processing, and high-resolution displays have helped overcome some of the constraints that have stood in the way of the widespread use of these immersive technologies. Global spending on AR/VR is now expected to reach $17.8 billion in 2018, an increase of nearly 95% over the $9.1 billion estimate for 2017.1 Given this impetus, we wanted to understand more about the current state of play with AR/VR in the enterprise. We surveyed executives at 700+ companies, including 600 companies who are either experimenting with or implementing AR/VR; spoke with AR/VR-focused leadership at global companies, start-ups, and vendors; and analyzed over 35 use cases, with a particular focus on: • The use of AR/VR for internal industrial company operations, including, but not limited to, design, engineering, and field services • The automotive, utility, and discrete manufacturing sectors. This research focuses on organizations that have initiated their AR/VR journey, whether by experimentation or implementation, and aims to answer a number of questions: • How is AR/VR being used today? • Where should organizations invest – what are the use cases that generate the most value? • How can companies either begin or evolve their initiatives? Outside of this report, terms you will commonly find when reading about AR/VR are mixed reality, hybrid reality, or merged reality in which both the physical and the virtual or digital realities coexist or even merge.
