IMUCoCo: Enabling Flexible On-Body IMU Placement for Human Pose Estimation and Activity Recognition

  • 通过空间坐标统一不同位置的惯性信号,实现灵活部署
  • 在典型和非常规位置均保持高精度姿态估计
  • 支持动态调整传感器位置,适配不同使用场景

IMU常用于人体运动感知、活动识别和全身姿态估计。传统方法要求用户将传感器置于预设位置,受限于常见可穿戴设备形态和模型训练方式,导致即使日常设备普遍配备IMU,可用位置仍十分有限(如手腕、耳部)。本文提出一种新框架IMUCoCo,突破位置限制,允许从身体任意点采集信号。该框架基于传感器空间坐标,将不同数量和位置的IMU信号映射至统一特征空间,可直接接入下游模型进行姿态估计与活动识别。实验表明,IMUCoCo在多种典型及非常规放置下均能实现准确姿态估计,显著优于现有方法,使用户可根据需求自由布置带传感器的设备。系统还支持根据使用场景推荐或动态调整传感器位置,极大提升实用性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

IMUs are regularly used to sense human motion, recognize activities, and estimate full-body pose. Users are typically required to place sensors in predefined locations that are often dictated by common wearable form factors and the machine learning model's training process. Consequently, despite the increasing number of everyday devices equipped with IMUs, the limited adaptability has seriously constrained the user experience to only using a few well-explored device placements (e.g., wrist and ears). In this paper, we rethink IMU-based motion sensing by acknowledging that signals can be captured from any point on the human body. We introduce IMU over Continuous Coordinates (IMUCoCo), a novel framework that maps signals from a variable number of IMUs placed on the body surface into a unified feature space based on their spatial coordinates. These features can be plugged into downstream models for pose estimation and activity recognition. Our evaluations demonstrate that IMUCoCo supports accurate pose estimation in a wide range of typical and atypical sensor placements. Overall, IMUCoCo supports significantly more flexible use of IMUs for motion sensing than the state-of-the-art, allowing users to place their sensors-laden devices according to their needs and preferences. The framework also supports the ability to change device locations depending on the context and suggests placement depending on the use case.
