MotionSynthesis toolset (MoST): a toolset for human motion data synthesis and validation

Abstract

Wearable computing devices and body sensor networks (BSNs) are becoming more prevalent. Collecting the data necessary to develop the new concepts for these systems can be difficult. We present the MotionSynthesis Toolset (MoST) to alleviate some of the difficulties in data collection and algorithm development. This toolset allows researchers to generate a sequence of movements (i.e. a diary), synthesize a data stream using real sensor data, visualize, and validate the sequence of movements and data with video and waveforms.
