Apparatus and method for calculating energy consumption based on three-dimensional motion tracking

摘要

An apparatus and method calculate an energy consumption based on 3D motion tracking. The method includes setting at least one specific portion of an analysis target as a reference point, analyzing the reference point before and after the lapse of a predetermined time, and determining an energy consumption of the analysis target on the basis of the analyzed reference point.

1. A method for calculating an energy consumption as a function of three-dimensional (3D) motion tracking, comprising:
obtaining a weight and a height of a body comprising a plurality of body segments, each body segment connected with a reference point; obtaining volumetric weights of each body segment as a function of a body segment factor, a weight factor, and a height factor; selecting at least one body segment of the plurality of body segments as an analysis target; calculating a motion quantity of the analysis target as a function of each volumetric weight of the selected at least one body segment by an amount of a movement of a respective reference point of the analysis target using a 3D vector to analyze the reference point; and determining an energy consumption of the analysis target on a basis of the motion quantity, wherein the weight factor is calculated as a function of a first variable of the body segment and the weight, and wherein the height factor is calculated as a function of a second variable of the body segment and the height.
