혼합현실 기반 경운기 시뮬레이터 구현을 위한 동작추적 알고리즘 개발

Abstract

More than 6,000 power tiller accidents occurred in 2015, accounting for 50% of all agricultural machinery accidents. Despite this, educational institutions for farmers are only conducting theoretical education due to lack of training systems with guaranteed safety. This study developed an object motion tracking algorithm enabling trainees to control a power tiller driving simulator while wearing a HMD(head mounted display) in order to provide safe hands-on training equipment. A power tiller driving simulator was built using encoders, proximity sensors and displacement sensors to detect the locations of various operating devices such as steering clutch, and a computer model for this simulator was designed. Center coordinate synchronization of the driving simulator and the computer model was achieved with a tracker, and the motion of the power tiller driving simulator was tracked by computing position coordinates and rotation angles of the simulator. The maximum distance error was 23mm, and there was no difficulty maneuvering the driving simulator while wearing an HMD, even at maximum distance error. This motion tracking algorithm is expected to be applicable to the development of mixed reality based power tiller driving simulators for training, contributing to the reduction of power tiller accidents.
