A distributed architecture for storing and processing multi channel multi-sensor athlete performance data

Abstract

Over the last decade, inertial sensors have become a valuable tool for extracting quantitative data from athletes. Due to their small size, unobtrusive nature and relative affordability, there is considerable interest in using multi-channel multi-sensor configurations to gain further insight into sporting performance parameters. As the amount of raw information that can be recorded in a single training session increases, so too does the complexity of the data mining algorithms required to emphasise, extract and derive its performance metrics. This ...
