Towards Recognizing Tai Chi – An Initial Experiment Using Wearable Sensors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Inexpensive wearable sensors are well-suited for the automatic recognition of many activities occuring in everyday life. But what about fast and involved movements such as those occuring in athletic sports? We tackle this question by studying the feasibility of using bodyworn gyroscopes and acceleration sensors to recognize Tai Chi movements. To this end, we conducted an initial experiment with eight sensors each affixed to four different persons who repeatedly performed three distinct Tai Chi movements. The resulting data confirm that standard thresholding and pattern-matching techniques should suffice to automate the analysis and recognition of the movements. Moreover, the data also seem to allow for distinguishing between certain levels of expertise and quality in executing the movements.

Modular Bayesian Networks with Low-Power Wearable Sensors for Recognizing Eating Activities
Recently, recognizing a user's daily activity using a smartphone and wearable sensors has become a popular issue. However, in contrast with the ideal definition of an experiment, there could be numerous complex activities in real life with respect to its various background and contexts: time, space, age, culture, and so on. Recognizing these complex activities with limited low-power sensors, co...
متن کاملEnabling Implicit Interaction in Wearable Applications: Don’t use sensors only for one task
Although, today, a broad range of sensor technology is already available that ranges from simple temperature sensors to complex acceleration sensors, recognizing context in wearable computing is still challenging. It involves the analysis, filtering, clustering and classification of sensor signals which are getting even more complex when sets of sensors are used to recognize context. However, t...
متن کاملTowards a Recognition of Short and Non Repetitive Activities from Wearable Sensors
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 th...
متن کاملRecognizing User ' s Context from Wearable Sensors : Baseline System
1 We describe experiments in recognizing a person's situation from only a wearable camera and microphone. The types of situations considered in these experiments are coarse locations (such as at work, in a subway or in a grocery store) and coarse events (such as in a conversation or walking down a busy street) that would require only global, non-attentional features to distinguish them.
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...
