5	Implementation of a human avatar for the MARG project in networked virtual environments Yildiz, Faruk 03 1900 (has links) Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. / The objective of the ongoing MARG project is to animate human motions captured by 15 MARG sensors in wireless networked virtual environment (NVES). Three avatars were developed previously, but none of them met all the desired requirements. The first one was overly simplistic and did not implement H-Anim standards. The other two were created using laser-scanned data and followed the H-Anim standards, but one had its adjacent joints broken and the other was capable of rotating only one joint. Therefore, the cartoon-type humanoid, Andy, was developed to meet the needs of the MARG project. The humanoid Andy implements H-Anim standards using built-in X3D humanoid nodes and is capable of controlling all its 15 joints in NVES. Another need of the MARG project was a wireless network interface for real-time data streaming. A concurrent client-server program implementing multicasting using TCP and UDP protocols was developed for this purpose. Using WiSER2400.IP serial adapters between the MARG sensors and the server program adds a wireless capability to the project. The server program converts the raw MARG sensor data to quaternions using the Quest algorithm. Multiple clients are supported by the system. Each client program receives the motion data and updates the humanoid Andy. / Lieutenant Junior Grade, Turkish Navy VRML (Computer program language) Java (Computer program language) Avatars (Religion) Virtual reality
6	Design and implementation of a DSP-based control interface unit (CIU) Kavousanos-Kavousanakis, Andreas 03 1900 (has links) Approved for public release, distribution is unlimited / This research involves the development of a human-body motion tracking system constructed with the use of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components. The main component of the system investigated in this thesis is the Control Interface Unit (CIU). The CIU is a component designed to receive data from the magnetic, angular rate, and gravity (MARG) sensors and prepare them to be transmitted through a wireless configuration. A simple and effective algorithm is used to filter the sensor data without singularities, providing the measured attitude in the quaternion form for each human limb. Initial calibration of the MARG sensors is also performed with the use of linear calibrating algorithms. The testing and evaluation of the whole system is performed by MATLABÊ¼ and SIMULINKÊ¼ simulations, and by the realtime visualization using a human avatar designed with the X3D graphics specifications. Through this research, it is discovered that the MARG sensors had to be redesigned to overcome an erratum on the Honeywell magnetometer HMC1051Z data sheet. With the redesigned MARG sensors, the testing results showed that the CIU was performing extremely well. The overall motion tracking system is capable of tracking human body limb motions in real time. / Lieutenant Junior Grade, Hellenic Navy Detectors Avatars (Religion) Motion Electrical engineering MARG III sensor Control interface unit (CIU) One- Three- Sixteen-Channel CIU Avatar Virtual environment Virtual training Immersion Honeywell Analog devices Texas Instruments Microcontoller Micromachined sensor X3D Java Xilinx RS232 Wireless communication WISER 2400
