■For a new way to enjoy skiing
I live in Nagano pref. in Japan.The1998 Winter Olympic games were held in Nagano.
I think ,Skiing is a sport of self-gratification,that is the origin of fun.
 For 5 years , I  tryed  to see my telemark turn and Alpen curving turn objectively.
I think belows,
・Ski  trail   consits of balance  between   motion vector and  ski skidding.
・These elements combination can become the  story of  ski run of the whole body ski turn of skier.

I had tryed to measure  using  MEMS Accelerometers ,I couldn’t get any Ski Turn parameters  due to  vibration noise and Integration error.
 Dec.2019 I was lucky to find  the ArduSimple’s SimpleRTK2B heading kit.

※Sep2024 　STA25 developping  Adding Ski Bend-Torsion sensor

※Feb 2024  New STA24　Ski　Tracing　  Boots On  System  with 3D print Water Proof Case
and compact system  (RTK+IMU(BNO085) ,UDP data log)     without MovingBase heading
Any skis and Snow boards Available!


※STA24 SYSTEM　SPEC

※April 2023  STA23 Ski Tracing system　improved　Regards type with IMU(BNO055)  YOUTUBE

※Feb 2022 Updated   SkiTurnAnalyzer Skiing Animation and Data Graph Viewer development completed
But Big challenges remain that I am  novice at alpen skiing.

1:Purpose of the system

A. Quantification of Ski turn Skidding
B. RL Ski  parameter (headSpeed,headAngle,longtitude,latitude,height,ski Slope)
C.  Time accuracy(Sampling period,RL Ski RTK Synchronizing)
D.Easy for everyone to use ,easy to understand,
E.Analyzed Results  see soon after ski run

※　I improve  Rover antenna position  farther back for avoid covering of  telemark sikiing form.

2-4:Data Analysys

#Updated    July 2021
All Turn Parameter calculation and  AutoTracingGraphic 
cap1. AutoTracing Graphic 
cap2.Basic of Bitmap Graphics
cap3.Dynamic trimming Graphics program
cap4.Ski Turn Analysis Algorithm

I am still improving  programs. Latest rev 016 is below

 

2-5 STA  Algorithm under development
 A ski Run  Estimation  to compare with your own senses
Speed and  Turn Arc and  range of Motion Angle and Skidding Angle

      example below graph
A:  Speed(pink) not controlled
B:  Motion-HeadAngle  range   decreasing
C:  Skid Angle range decreasing

A,B,C  Ranege Shape  Depends on the skier’s sence.

-STA will visualize your skiing image ,record your fired run  objective.

I will be developping STA until Mar 2022.
