Use of a gyroscope/accelerometer data logger to identify alternative feeding behaviours in fish.

Monitoring Escape and Feeding Behaviours of Cruiser Fish by Inertial and Magnetic Sensors

A method was developed and applied for monitoring two types of fast-start locomotion (feeding and escape) of a cruiser fish, Japanese amberjacks Seriola quinqueradiata. A data logger, which incorporated a 3-axis gyroscope, a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis magnetometer, was attached to the five fish. The escape, feeding and routine movements of the fish, which were triggered in tank experimen...

A Simple and Fast Method for Field Calibration of Triaxial Gyroscope by using Accelerometer

Accelerometers in collars identify behavioral states in captive African elephants Loxodonta africana

Accelerometers are motion-detection devices that, when attached to animals, are capable of detecting body orientation, overall activity levels, and specific behavior patterns. We deployed accelerometers in order to study the hypothesis that accelerometer output would allow us to distinguish between 4 behavior patterns in 3 adult female African elephants Loxodonta africana at Disney’s Animal Kin...

Human Identification via Gait Recognition Using Accelerometer Gyro Forces

Many applications, both cooperative and hostile, require the ability to identify humans. This paper proposes a method that exploits the biometric property of human gait to identify people. A single sensor composed of an accelerometer and gyroscope is used to record gait characteristics. Using a Direct Form II Transpose, gait cycles are extracted and compressed to their characteristic features. ...
