Abstract
Method for determining a correct reproduction of a movement of a target based on a plurality of orientations thereof at different time instants at least including first and second time instants, the second time instant being posterior to the first time instant, the movement being defined by at least a first predetermined constraint, the first predetermined constraint being defined for first and second orientations of the plurality of orientations and defined by a start angle, an end angle and a first plane definition, comprising: providing a first plane and a second plane, each defined by the first plane definition, corresponding to the first and second time instants, respectively; providing a first pair of vectors by projecting the first orientation and the second orientation, corresponding to the first time instant, onto the first plane; providing a second pair of vectors by projecting the first orientation and the second orientation, corresponding to the second time instant, onto the second plane; computing first and second angles between the pair of vectors of the first and second pairs of vectors, respectively; and determining the correct reproduction of the movement if: the first angle is equal to or less than the start angle, and the second angle is equal to or greater than the end angle.
