Inertial motion capture has become an attractive alternative to optical motion capture for human joint angle estimation outside the laboratory. Usually inertial sensors are assumed to be tightly fixed to the body segments, which can be cumbersome regarding setup-time and ease-of-use. However, integrating the sensors directly into loose clothing, usually, results in additional clothing motion relat...
