OpenIMU aims to provide an open source and free generic data importer, viewer, manager, processor and exporter for Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) and actimetry data. By using a common sensor data format and structure, data from different sources can be imported and managed in the software. This software was developped with support from INTER.
-
Common file format (SQLite) managed by OpenIMU, but that can also be opened from other software
-
Import recorded data from sensors:
-
AppleWatch SensorLogger (Open-source project available soon)
-
Transfer data directly from sensors:
- AppleWatch SensorLogger (Open-source project available soon)
-
Data organization
-
By participants groups
-
By participants
-
By recordsets
-
By results
-
-
Data viewing
-
Temporal display of recordsets to quickly see when data was recorded
-
Sensor graph view plotting with zoom functions
-
GPS viewer for GPS data
-
-
Data processing
-
Processing module, currently supporting:
- Freedson Activity Algorithm (Freedson PS1, Melanson E, Sirard J., Calibration of the Computer Science and Applications, Inc. accelerometer., Med Sci Sports Exerc. 1998 May;30(5):777-81)
-
Processed results viewer
-
-
Data exporter
- CSV format
-
English translation (currently only available in French)
-
Data splitting into sub-recordsets (by time, by day, manually)
-
Versatile data exporter (currently exporting all data, not possible to filter or change format)
-
Matlab API to access the OpenIMU file format (database)
-
More data processing modules
Please follow those steps to setup your development environment.
-
Make sure you have a valid compiler installed:
- Linux : gcc/g++
- Mac : LLVM through XCode
- Windows: Visual Studio C++ 2017
-
Install CMake
-
Install Qt + QtCreator
- Install the latest Desktop distribution fitting your compiling environment (will not be needed in the future)
-
Install MiniConda3
- Install Python 3.6 version for current user (in user directory)
-
Install PyCharm Community Edition
- Opening the root CMakeLists.txt will allow to create and build the project
- Build the project using the "python-all" target, it will automatically generate the Python environment in env/python-3.6, PyQt UI and RCC files.
- All python dependencies will be automatically downloaded
- Once the project is built, you will not need QtCreator until you change or add a resource file or a QtDesigner ui file.
- If you change or add ui or resources files, you need to rebuild the project from QtCreator.
- Using PyCharm, opening the directory "{PROJECT_ROOT}/python"
- Select the existing Python 3.6 environment in "{PROJECT_ROOT}/python/env/python-3.6" in the app menu: PyCharm->Preferences->Project:python->Project Interpreter
-
Run the OpenIMUApp.py application from PyCharm
-
Edit the code as you would normally do in a python program.
-
Run tests in the tests directory
- In a near future, we hope to have everything in the QtCreator IDE. Stay tuned!
Enjoy!
