Abstract
A method of tracking the motion of a moving object having a plurality of linked segments is provided. The method uses a limited set of sensing units that are coupled to one or more of the segments to receive one or more sensor signals from the sensing units. Based on the sensor signals, the method estimates a 3D orientation and predicts a 3D position of the segments at a tracking module. The method further communicates the 3D orientation and the 3D position of the segments to a database module, and associates a pose of the object to the 3D orientation and the 3D position of the segments.
