Validation of a Velostat-Based Pressure Sensitive Mat for Center of Pressure Measurements. Dataset.

This dataset presents the measurements corresponding to the article "Validation of a Velostat-Based Pressure Sensitive Mat for Center of Pressure Measurements". You will find the data corresponding to an affordable commercial mat, a Velostat-based mat prototype, and a commercial force platform. The results obtained in the above-mentioned article can be reproduced with them. In the article there is a set of experiments involving people standing on these platforms simultaneously and the center-of-pressure (CoP) path was analyzed by extracting standard deviation along the axes and mean radius.In this dataset you can find the CoP displacement obtained by the software of the force platform, which are along with the measurements extracted from the commercial mat software, the raw data of the Velostat-Based prototype, and the post-processed data from the Velostat-Based prototype. The scripts section also includes the code to extract the CoP from the mat pressure maps, the post-processing of the prototype pressure maps, the computation of the standard deviation along the axes and mean radius. Besides, it prints on the screen a table with the summary of this computation.
