چکیده
A variety of procedures have been used to identify irregularities in gait in elderly persons with cognitive declines and dementia. The present paper describes an automatic indoor movement tracking system that measures changes in path direction as well as rate and duration of movement. Gait irregularities have been observed to distinWilliam D.

متن کاملOutlier Detection in Wireless Sensor Networks Using Distributed Principal Component Analysis
Detecting anomalies is an important challenge for intrusion detection and fault diagnosis in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). To address the problem of outlier detection in wireless sensor networks, in this paper we present a PCA-based centralized approach and a DPCA-based distributed energy-efficient approach for detecting outliers in sensed data in a WSN. The outliers in sensed data can be ca...
