Identification of animal movement patterns using tri-axial magnetometry
BACKGROUND Accelerometers are powerful sensors in many bio-logging devices, and are increasingly allowing researchers to investigate the performance, behaviour, energy expenditure and even state, of free-living animals. Another sensor commonly used in animal-attached loggers is the magnetometer, which has been primarily used in dead-reckoning or inertial measurement tags, but little outside tha...
متن کاملIdentification of animal movement patterns using tri-axial accelerometry
An animal’s behaviour is a response to its environment and physiological condition, and as such, gives vital clues as to its well-being, which is highly relevant in conservation issues. Behaviour can generally be typified by body motion and body posture, parameters that are both measurable using animal-attached accelerometers. Interpretation of acceleration data, however, can be complex, as the...
متن کاملIdentification of Cross-Country Skiing Movement Patterns Using Micro-Sensors
This study investigated the potential of micro-sensors for use in the identification of the main movement patterns used in cross-country skiing. Data were collected from four elite international and four Australian athletes in Europe and in Australia using a MinimaxX™ unit containing accelerometer, gyroscope and GPS sensors. Athletes performed four skating techniques and three classical techniq...
متن کاملUsing Tri-Axial Accelerometry in Daily Elite Swim Training Practice
Background: Coaches in elite swimming carefully design the training programs of their swimmers and are keen on achieving strict adherence to those programs by their athletes. At present, coaches usually monitor the compliance of their swimmers to the training program with a stopwatch. However, this measurement clearly limits the monitoring possibilities and is subject to human error. Therefore,...
متن کاملStep Counts Using a Tri-axial Accelerometer during Activity
Physical activity has been associated with health improvements in a number of populations. Step counting is one of the most commonly used measures of physical activity [1]. Due to their small size and light weight, the use of wearable sensors for step counts has been investigated in many studies [2, 3] as they are suitable for home deployment. One of the main issues with step counts as a physic...
