Stereo-imaging sensor position localization method and system

Abstract

The disclosure relates to a method and system wherein sensors on a cap or directly disposed on a head can be localized using a stereo camera. By capturing a plurality of stereo images, the positions of the sensors can be determined with respect to each other. At least a first stereo image having a first set of sensors and a second stereo image having a second set of sensors are captured in a first position respectively a second position of the stereo camera relative to the cap by a relative rotation of the stereo camera around the cap. The first set of sensors and the second set of sensors may have one or more sensors in common. The relative rotation of the stereo camera around the cap can be obtained by at least one of a rotation of the stereo camera around a non-rotating cap and a rotation of the cap with respect to a fixed stereo camera.Biomechanical EngineeringMechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineerin
