Abstract
The invention relates to a motion determination apparatus for determining motion of a moving object, wherein the motion determination apparatus () comprises a multi-axial accelerometer () for being positioned at the moving object (), wherein the multi-axial accelerometer () is adapted to generate accelerometer signals indicative of the acceleration along different spatial axes. The motion determination apparatus further comprises a motion signal generation unit () for generating a motion signal indicative of the motion of the object () by combining the accelerometer signals of different spatial axes. The combination of the accelerometer signals of different spatial axes yields a motion signal having a large signal-to-noise ratio, even if an axis is located close to a rotational axis of the movement.
