Improving the Scalability of the ViTRAK Sensor Floor System
EF 2012-13
Résumé
ViTRAK Systems Inc. is a federally incorporated company headquartered in Charlottetown, PEI. The
company is dedicated to the development and commercialization of its advanced patient and object
tracking technologies. Notably, ViTRAK has developed an advanced Sensor Floor Gait Analysis System
for the study of human biomechanics and animal locomotion. Despite the effectiveness of the sensor
floor system in terms of gait analysis, the scalability of the system needs to be improved because each
sensor tile in the system generates a large volume of data and the current networking infrastructure can
only support a limited number of tiles in one system. In this project, we attempt to use an innovative
method based on compressive sensing to reduce the volume of data generated by each sensor tile,
ultimately improving the scalability of the sensor floor system.
