Towards a Recognition of Short and Non Repetitive Activities from Wearable Sensors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Activity recognition has gained a lot of interest in recent years due to its potential and usefulness for context-aware wearable computing. Most approaches for activity recognition focus on repetitive or long time patterns within the data. There is high interest in recognizing very short activities, such as pushing and pulling an oil stick or opening an oil container as sub-tasks of checking the oil level in a car. This paper presents a method for activity recognition using start and end postures (short fixed positions of the wrist) in order to identify segments of interest in a continuous data stream. Experiments show high discriminative power for using postures to recognize short activities in continuous recordings. Additionally, classifications using postures and HMMs for recognition are combined.

متن کاملThe Effect of Radio Waves on the Quality and Safety of Wearable Sensors in Healthcare
The industrial Internet of Things (IoT) is aiming to interconnect humans, machines, materials, processes and services in a network. Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) comprises the less power consuming, light weight and effective Sensor Nodes (SNs) for higher network performance. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and sensor networks are both wireless technologies that provide limitless future po...
متن کاملHuman activity recognition with wearable sensors
This thesis investigates the use of wearable sensors to recognize human activity. The activity of the user is one example of context information – others include the user’s location or the state of his environment – which can help computer applications to adapt to the user depending on the situation. In this thesis we use wearable sensors – mainly accelerometers – to record, model and recognize...
متن کاملAn Experiment in Hierarchical Recognition of Group Activities Using Wearable Sensors
Pervasive computing envisions implicit interaction between people and their intelligent environments instead of individual devices, inevitably leading to groups of individuals interacting with the same intelligent environment. These environments must therefore be aware not only of user contexts and activities, but the contexts and activities of groups of users as well. This poster will demonstr...
متن کاملHuman Movement Recognition Based on the Stochastic Characterisation of Acceleration Data
Human activity recognition algorithms based on information obtained from wearable sensors are successfully applied in detecting many basic activities. Identified activities with time-stationary features are characterised inside a predefined temporal window by using different machine learning algorithms on extracted features from the measured data. Better accuracy, precision and recall levels co...
