Through simulation, penetration acceleration data were obtained, and Fourier Transform was employed to analyze the time-frequency characteristics of these data. Given that penetration acceleration signals are often contaminated by high-frequency oscillatory noise, a novel signal processing approach is introduced. Using a controlled variable method in simulation, the frequency boundary between high-frequency noise and useful signals was identified. After applying a low-pass filter with a cutoff frequency of 10 kHz, the simulation results indicated that the processed signal provides sufficiently accurate travel information. On the hardware side, a specialized signal conditioning circuit was designed for the acceleration sensor signals, and its effectiveness was verified through Machette hammer experiments. Additionally, semi-physical simulation tests further confirmed the accuracy of the proposed travel calculation method. The results demonstrate that the improved method presented in this paper can significantly enhance the precision of travel calculations during the penetration of objects by high-speed carriers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34311,"journal":{"name":"Measurement Sensors","volume":"39 ","pages":"Article 101966"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144253927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A new wearable AR system using gloves with haptic feedback and flex sensors with Inertial Measurement Units provides precise gesture-control while displaying real-time contextual information. The dynamic gesture recognition system uses Random Forest as its lightweight machine learning model to achieve 93.4 % accuracy in mapping gestures to command sequences which represents a 14.6 % enhancement above conventional static models. The system leverages Edge Computing for low-latency processing (average latency <47 ms) and cloud-based analytics for predictive maintenance insights.
