A method for both calibration and validation of a 6 DOF electrogoniometer is presented. A 6 Revolute Instrumented Spatial Linkage (6R-ISL) and a three-dimensional digitizer (3DD) were used simultaneously to collect both static and continuous poses of unconstrained or constrained motions. Validation occurred using a calibrated ball-and-socket joint. A parametrical model of the 6R-ISL (i.e. Virtual Goniometer or VG) was designed using a standard multibody system geometry. Two approaches were used to adjust the VG parameters: a parametrical adjustment of the VG linkage geometry, and a functional adjustment of the potentiometer calibration curves (angle-voltage) in a predefined range of motion. After calibration, 6R-ISL accuracy was better than 1 mm and 1 degrees for translation and orientation, respectively. The functional method presented in this paper can be suggested as a practical approach, which allows on-line checking and calibration of 6R-ISL within the specific range of interest of a particular anatomical joint. In addition, improving the potentiometer calibration curves was less time consuming than the parametrical adjustment.
本文提出了一种用于六自由度电子测角仪校准和验证的方法。同时使用一个六旋转关节仪器化空间连杆机构(6R-ISL)和一个三维数字化仪(3DD)来收集无约束或受约束运动的静态和连续姿态。使用校准后的球窝关节进行验证。采用标准多体系统几何结构设计了6R-ISL的参数模型(即虚拟测角仪或VG)。采用两种方法调整VG参数:对VG连杆机构几何结构进行参数调整,以及在预定义运动范围内对电位计校准曲线(角度-电压)进行功能调整。校准后,6R-ISL在平移和方向上的精度分别优于1毫米和1度。本文提出的功能方法可作为一种实用方法,允许在特定解剖关节的特定感兴趣范围内对6R-ISL进行在线检查和校准。此外,改进电位计校准曲线比参数调整耗时更少。
