MadgwickAHRS#

class mobgap.orientation_estimation.MadgwickAHRS(
beta: float = 0.2,
initial_orientation: ~numpy.ndarray | ~scipy.spatial.transform._rotation.Rotation = cf(<scipy.spatial.transform._rotation.Rotation object>),
)[source]#

The MadwickAHRS algorithm to estimate the orientation of an IMU.

This method applies a simple gyro integration with an additional correction step that tries to align the estimated orientation of the z-axis with gravity direction estimated from the acceleration data. This implementation is based on the paper [1]. An open source C-implementation of the algorithm can be found at [2]. The original code is published under GNU-GPL.

Parameters:
beta

This parameter controls how harsh the acceleration based correction is. A high value performs large corrections and a small value small and gradual correction. A high value should only be used if the sensor is moved slowly. A value of 0 is identical to just the Gyro Integration (see also gaitmap.trajectory_reconstruction.SimpleGyroIntegration for a separate implementation).

initial_orientation

The initial orientation of the sensor that is assumed. It is critical that this value is close to the actual orientation. Otherwise, the estimated orientation will drift until the real orientation is found. In some cases, the algorithm will not be able to converge if the initial orientation is too far off and the orientation will slowly oscillate. If you pass a array, remember that the order of elements must be x, y, z, w.

Warning

This orientation needs to be provided based on the global coordinate system, which is rotated relative to the sensor frame defined in mobgap. The defualt initial orientation is hence mobgap.consts.INITIAL_MOBILISED_ORIENTATION. If you want to provide a different initial orientation, you need to rotate it accordingly, depending on your definition.

Other Parameters:
data

The data passed to the estimate method.

sampling_rate_hz

The sampling rate of this data

Attributes:
orientation_

Orientations as pd.DataFrame.

orientation_object_

The orientations as a single scipy Rotation object

rotated_data_

Rotated data.

Notes

This class uses Numba as a just-in-time-compiler to achieve fast run times. In result, the first execution of the algorithm will take longer as the methods need to be compiled first.

Examples

Your data must be a pd.DataFrame with columns defined by SF_COLS.

>>> import pandas as pd
>>> from gaitmap.utils.consts import SF_COLS
>>> data = pd.DataFrame(..., columns=SF_COLS)
>>> sampling_rate_hz = 100
>>> # Create an algorithm instance
>>> mad = MadgwickAHRS(beta=0.2, initial_orientation=np.array([0, 0, 0, 1.0]))
>>> # Apply the algorithm
>>> mad = mad.estimate(data, sampling_rate_hz=sampling_rate_hz)
>>> # Inspect the results
>>> mad.orientation_
<pd.Dataframe with resulting quaternions>
>>> mad.orientation_object_
<scipy.Rotation object>

Methods

clone()

Create a new instance of the class with all parameters copied over.

estimate(data, *, sampling_rate_hz, **_)

Estimate the orientation of the sensor.

get_params([deep])

Get parameters for this algorithm.

set_params(**params)

Set the parameters of this Algorithm.

__init__(
beta: float = 0.2,
initial_orientation: ~numpy.ndarray | ~scipy.spatial.transform._rotation.Rotation = cf(<scipy.spatial.transform._rotation.Rotation object>),
) None[source]#
clone() Self[source]#

Create a new instance of the class with all parameters copied over.

This will create a new instance of the class itself and all nested objects

estimate(
data: DataFrame,
*,
sampling_rate_hz: float,
**_: Unpack[dict[str, Any]],
) Self[source]#

Estimate the orientation of the sensor.

Parameters:
data

Continuous sensor data including gyro and acc values. The gyro data is expected to be in deg/s! The data can either be in the sensor or the body frame. Both will result in the same estimated sensor orientation, but the output of rotated_data_ will be in the normal global frame if the data is in the sensor frame and in the body-aligned global frame if the data is in the body frame.

sampling_rate_hz

The sampling rate of the data in Hz

Returns:
self

The class instance with all result attributes populated

get_params(deep: bool = True) dict[str, Any][source]#

Get parameters for this algorithm.

Parameters:
deep

Only relevant if object contains nested algorithm objects. If this is the case and deep is True, the params of these nested objects are included in the output using a prefix like nested_object_name__ (Note the two “_” at the end)

Returns:
params

Parameter names mapped to their values.

property orientation_: DataFrame#

Orientations as pd.DataFrame.

property rotated_data_: DataFrame#

Rotated data.

set_params(**params: Any) Self[source]#

Set the parameters of this Algorithm.

To set parameters of nested objects use nested_object_name__para_name=.
