2007 <strong>–</strong> <strong>2008</strong> <strong>Final</strong> <strong>Year</strong> <strong>Project</strong> <strong>–</strong> <strong>1st</strong> <strong>Term</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />
Motion capture refers to the technique of recording movements in a digital manner for<br />
different purpose in entertainment, sports or medical treatments. At present, most<br />
researches regarding motion capture as a use of accelerometers. Those accelerometers are<br />
normally attached to certain parts of the body; say the limbs or the hands. However, there<br />
are not much researches relating to traditional <strong>Chinese</strong> martial Art.<br />
Wii Remote also has built-in accelerometers. A player can connect Wii Remote through<br />
Bluetooth to the computer, and capture acceleration values through Wii Remote API, i.e.<br />
capture player’s motion. It is interesting to investigate on motion capturing and classification<br />
with Wii Remote.<br />
In this report, we are going to describe the motivation, background information, what<br />
we have done in this semester, as well as problems and limitations we encountered so far.<br />
Our objective is to first build a motion classifier to classify motions done with the use of Wii<br />
Remote, so that we can further make use of our classifier, either using in games, or for<br />
educational purpose.<br />
In the following sections, we would first give some background information as well as<br />
the idea of this final year project. Following is different classification algorithms and<br />
representations of motion data we have studied. <strong>The</strong>n we will take about the details of our<br />
implementation, and finally we will mention problems and limitations we encountered, as<br />
well as our future work.<br />
