Abstract
The need for broadly defined measures of human motion and estimation of motion parameters occurs in many research disciplines. The article concerns the evaluation of improvement in basic orientation estimation methods for IMU sensors, throughout the use of rigid body (segment in skeleton model) constraints. The verified method utilizes the correlation between rational motions and linear accelerations in the body model and reduces the impact of the external acceleration on the estimation of orientation. The experimental study concerns comparison of this method to other methods of leveling the influence of linear external acceleration.
