New method estimates human ground contact forces from motion capture

Researchers have developed a new method called GraCE to estimate ground contact forces from 3D human motion capture data. This approach utilizes the human's center of gravity and body mass distribution to infer contact dynamics, offering a more scalable solution than traditional force plates or pressure mats. GraCE aims to capture complex pressure distributions and has demonstrated superior performance on datasets like GroundLink and MOYO for ground reaction force and contact pressure prediction, respectively.
