Abstract
Existing wearable motion capture methods typically demand tight on-body fixation (often using straps) for reliable sensing, limiting their application in everyday life. In this paper, we introduce Loose Inertial Poser, a novel motion capture solution with high wearing comfortableness, by integrating four Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) into a loose-wear jacket. Specifically, we address the challenge of scarce loose-wear IMU training data by proposing a Secondary Motion AutoEncoder (SeMo-AE) that learns to model and synthesize the effects of secondary motion between the skin and loose clothing on IMU data. SeMo-AE is leveraged to generate a diverse synthetic dataset of loose-wear IMU data to augment training for the pose estimation network and significantly improve its accuracy. For validation, we collected a dataset with various subjects and 2 wearing styles (zipped and unzipped). Experimental results demonstrate that our approach maintains high-quality real-time posture estimation even in loose-wear scenarios.
