Where am I: Recognizing On-body Positions of Wearable Sensors
The paper describes a method that allows us to derive the location of an acceleration sensor placed on the user’s body solely based on the sensor’s signal. The approach described here constitutes a first step in our work towards the use of sensors integrated in standard appliances and accessories carried by the user for complex context recognition. It is also motivated by the fact that device l...
متن کاملAcceleration of Upper Trunk Coordination in Young Versus old Adults During Walking on the Level and Irregular Floor Surface Using MTx Sensor
Objectives: To evaluate the reliability of head and trunk acceleration measured by MTx sensors during walking on Level and Irregular surfaces and to compare the differences between healthy young and old adults. Methods: Participants were 20 young female university students and 20 non-faller elderly women in Iran, 2013. Two MTX sensors were used to measure head and trunk accelerations in the ...
متن کاملExamination of Sensor Positions to Detect Bicycle Speeding Behavior
With the increasing number of bicycle riders, there is an increased risk of accidents between bicycles and automobiles. Some accidents are caused by speeding bicycles and the lack of communication between the cyclist and car drivers. To close the communication gap, we propose a method to detect speeding behaviors using a conventional smartphone. Using the smartphone, the cyclist will be able to...
متن کاملLaboratory Validation of Inertial Body Sensors to Detect Cigarette Smoking Arm Movements
Cigarette smoking remains the leading cause of preventable death in the United States. Traditional in-clinic cessation interventions may fail to intervene and interrupt the rapid progression to relapse that typically occurs following a quit attempt. The ability to detect actual smoking behavior in real-time is a measurement challenge for health behavior research and intervention. The successful...
