Activity Recognition from Accelerometer Data

چکیده
Activity recognition fits within the bigger framework of context awareness. In this paper, we report on our efforts to recognize user activity from accelerometer data. Activity recognition is formulated as a classification problem. Performance of base-level classifiers and meta-level classifiers is compared. Plurality Voting is found to perform consistently well across different settings.

Accelerometer vs. Electromyogram in Activity Recognition
Activity recognition; Wearable sensor; Acceleration; Electromyogram; Unseen activities In this study, information from wearable sensors is used to recognize human activities. Commonly the approaches are based on accelerometer data while in this study the potential of electromyogram (EMG) signals in activity recognition is studied. The electromyogram data is used in two different scenarios: 1) r...
متن کاملComparison of Feature Classification Algorithm for Activity Recognition Based on Accelerometer and Heart Rate Data
This paper describes a project to compare two feature classification algorithms used in activity recognition in relation to accelerometer and heart rate data. Data was collected from six male and female subjects using a single tri-axial accelerometer and heart monitor attached to each subject’s dominant thigh. Subjects carried out eight activities and the data was labelled semi-automatically. F...
متن کاملReducing Uncertainty in User-independent Activity Recognition - A Sensor Fusion-based Approach
In this study, a novel user-independent method to recognize activities accurately in situations where traditional accelerometer based classification contains a lot of uncertainty is presented. The method uses two recognition models: one using only accelerometer data and other based on sensor fusion. However, as a sensor fusionbased method is known to consume more battery than an accelerometer-b...
متن کاملA Method for Activity Recognition Partially Resilient on Mobile Device Orientation
This paper demonstrates a method for activity recognition partially resilient on mobile device orientation, by using data from a mobile phone embedded accelerometer. This method is partially resilient on mobile device orientation, in such a way that a mobile device can be rotated around only one axis for an arbitrary angle. The classifier for activity recognition is built using data from one de...
متن کاملPACP: A Position-Independent Activity Recognition Method Using Smartphone Sensors
Human activity recognition has been a hot topic in recent years. With the advances in sensor technology, there has been a growing interest in using smartphones equipped with a set of built-in sensors to solve tasks of activity recognition. However, in most previous studies, smartphones were used with a fixed position—like trouser pockets—during recognition, which limits the user behavior. In th...
