无需静态校准,实时动态校准可穿戴惯性传感器,实现长期精准动作捕捉。
Transformer IMU Calibrator: Dynamic On-body IMU Calibration for Inertial Motion Capture
- 基于Transformer模型,通过短时运动数据实时估计传感器偏移和坐标变换。
- 在10秒内完成校准,支持稀疏传感器长时间稳定捕捉动作。
- 适合可穿戴设备、虚拟现实等需无感校准的场景。
本文提出一种新型动态校准方法,用于稀疏惯性动作捕捉系统,首次打破传统校准中必须保持绝对静态的限制(即坐标漂移RG'G和测量偏置RBS在整个运动过程中恒定),显著拓展了应用场景。我们提出在两个宽松假设下实时估计RG'G与RBS:i)矩阵在短时间内变化可忽略;ii)该时间段内人体运动或IMU读数具有多样性。前者缩小候选矩阵范围,后者提供多样化约束,大幅压缩解空间,使仅凭短期IMU读数即可实现实时精确估计。为此,我们构建了包含成对RG'G、RBS矩阵与IMU读数的合成数据集,并使用基于Transformer的模型学习其映射关系。同时设计了基于读数多样性的校准触发机制,确保假设成立。据我们所知,这是首个实现隐式校准(即无缝使用传感器而无需显式校准流程)的方法,也是首个支持稀疏传感器长期准确动作捕捉的工作。代码与数据集见https://github.com/ZuoCX1996/TIC。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In this paper, we propose a novel dynamic calibration method for sparse inertial motion capture systems, which is the first to break the restrictive absolute static assumption in IMU calibration, i.e., the coordinate drift RG'G and measurement offset RBS remain constant during the entire motion, thereby significantly expanding their application scenarios. Specifically, we achieve real-time estimation of RG'G and RBS under two relaxed assumptions: i) the matrices change negligibly in a short time window; ii) the human movements/IMU readings are diverse in such a time window. Intuitively, the first assumption reduces the number of candidate matrices, and the second assumption provides diverse constraints, which greatly reduces the solution space and allows for accurate estimation of RG'G and RBS from a short history of IMU readings in real time. To achieve this, we created synthetic datasets of paired RG'G, RBS matrices and IMU readings, and learned their mappings using a Transformer-based model. We also designed a calibration trigger based on the diversity of IMU readings to ensure that assumption ii) is met before applying our method. To our knowledge, we are the first to achieve implicit IMU calibration (i.e., seamlessly putting IMUs into use without the need for an explicit calibration process), as well as the first to enable long-term and accurate motion capture using sparse IMUs. The code and dataset are available at https://github.com/ZuoCX1996/TIC.
