Recording Housekeeping Activities with Situated Tags and Wrist-Worn Sensors: Experiment Setup and Issues Encountered
نویسندگان
چکیده
RFID tag readers and accelerometers are two sensing technologies that have recently dropped in both size and cost. Assuming that key household items can easily be tagged, one could legitimately imagine a wrist-worn sensor which incorporates both, to infer Activities of Daily Living (ADL). This paper presents initial challenges in research towards this scenario by describing critical choices made in a series of data recording experiments, in which we intend to capture realistic sensor data in a lab setting, using a set of housekeeping activities as targets.

Collecting Datasets from Ambient Intelligence Environments
This paper describes a methodology and lessons learned from collecting datasets in Ambient Intelligence Environments. The authors present considerations on how to setup an experiment and discuss decisions taken at different planning steps, ranging from the selection of human activities over sensor choices to issues of the recording software. The experiment design and execution is illustrated th...
متن کاملAn Activity Recognition Framework Deploying the Random Forest Classifier and A Single Optical Heart Rate Monitoring and Triaxial Accelerometer Wrist-Band †
Wrist-worn sensors have better compliance for activity monitoring compared to hip, waist, ankle or chest positions. However, wrist-worn activity monitoring is challenging due to the wide degree of freedom for the hand movements, as well as similarity of hand movements in different activities such as varying intensities of cycling. To strengthen the ability of wrist-worn sensors in detecting hum...
متن کاملComplex Human Activity Recognition Using Smartphone and Wrist-Worn Motion Sensors
The position of on-body motion sensors plays an important role in human activity recognition. Most often, mobile phone sensors at the trouser pocket or an equivalent position are used for this purpose. However, this position is not suitable for recognizing activities that involve hand gestures, such as smoking, eating, drinking coffee and giving a talk. To recognize such activities, wrist-worn ...
متن کاملTechnical variability of the Vivago® wrist-worn accelerometer.
The aim was to assess the technical variability of a new wrist-worn accelerometer under controlled conditions with a shaker device and during normal daily physical activities (PAs). In the first experiment, 10 wrist-worn accelerometers (Vivago(®) Wellness, Paris, France) were attached to the shaker device. Variability was tested at five shaking frequencies (1.1, 2.1, 3.1, 4.1, and 10 Hz) for 10...
متن کاملPhysical activity classification using the GENEA wrist-worn accelerometer.
INTRODUCTION Most accelerometer-based activity monitors are worn on the waist or lower back for assessment of habitual physical activity. Output is in arbitrary counts that can be classified by activity intensity according to published thresholds. The purpose of this study was to develop methods to classify physical activities into walking, running, household, or sedentary activities based on r...
