Content

This paper describes the advantages and disadvantages of inertial sensors and stationary camera-based measuring methods for the application of detecting head and shoulder angles. For this purpose three inertial sensor modules from Shimmer Sensing and a Kinect 2 camera system are used. The recorded data of both systems are converted into a comparable form.Based on an evaluation of the recorded measurement data, the inertial sensor and the camera-based methods are compared with regard to their suitability for detecting movements in the head and shoulder area.
