This paper describes the development of an angle measurement system using a monocular camera. In recent years, the measurement of the angle of a human joint has played an important role in various fields. Particularly, in the area of rehabilitation, measurement results are applied to make a diagnosis based on the condition of the patient; therefore, high accuracy is required. However, the use of such results is limited because systems with sufficient accuracy are expensive and bulky. In the proposed method, we introduce a Moiré pattern that magnifies small angular displacements to compensate for the poor resolution of the camera. We experimentally verified the robustness of the measurement results' assuming practical use.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
