IMU sensor output data

Post by yu yang » Thu Sep 22, 2022 11:33 pm

The IMU tutorial of Opensim only supports Xsens and APDM. Is there any way to import the output format of other sensors into opensim? Or how to change it to the corresponding format.The sensor I am using is LPMS-B2.

Since there are so many different IMUs and data formats out there, it's hard to have an automated way to convert for each type of device. For sensors that OpenSim/OpenSense doesn't support, you'll have to do some conversion yourself. Often users will write MATLAB/Python scripts to convert their sensor data output to the correct format for OpenSim, and you can use the example input files for OpenSim as the format to aim for for your conversion methods.
