Relative Motion Analysis using Rotating Axes

Relative Motion Analysis using Rotating Axes

Consider a component AB undergoing a linear motion. Along with a linear motion, point B also rotates around point A. To comprehend this complex movement, position vectors for both points A and B are established using a stationary reference frame.
However, to express the relative position of point B relative to point A, an additional frame of reference, denoted as x'y', is necessary. This additional frame not only translates but also rotates relative to the fixed frame, making it...

Area of Science:

Biomedical Engineering
Computer Vision
Neurology

Background:

Computer vision (CV) offers potential for movement disorder assessment.
Validation against clinical standards is crucial for CV pipelines.
Smartphone-based CV frameworks require rigorous evaluation for tremor analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

To validate Google's Mediapipe and Apple's Vision frameworks for hand tremor analysis.
To determine optimal camera positioning and minimum detectable tremor parameters.
To compare CV framework performance against established methods like optical motion capture (OMC).

Main Methods:

Virtual experiments with simulated tremulous hands.
Testing Mediapipe and Vision frameworks on 20 tremor patients.
Comparison with optical motion capture (OMC), accelerometry, and clinical ratings (TETRAS).

Main Results:

Both CV frameworks accurately measured tremor peak frequency.
Significant correlations observed between CV-assessed tremor amplitude and TETRAS scores.
Amplitude estimation accuracy against OMC was insufficient for clinical application.

Conclusions:

CV-based tremor analysis is a promising tool for accurate tremor frequency assessment.
Smartphone CV frameworks provide a simple method for clinical tremor evaluation.
Enhancements in amplitude estimation are necessary for widespread clinical adoption.
