Abstract
This paper discusses the estimation of the position and orientation, i.e. the pose, of a rigid body and the posture of a human using inertial sensor data only, i.e. without absolute pose information. Since this is impossible in general, specific assumptions as to the rigid body motion and the skeleton’s structure are introduced. What to expect of estimates obtained using such assumptions is also briefly covered.
