Activity Recognition from Acceleration Data Collected with a Tri-axial Accelerometer
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes a high accuracy classifier for human activity based on data collected with a single tri-axial accelerometer mounted on the right part of the hip. The accuracy of this classifier is very important for detecting the postures. Therefore we use methods like acceleration magnitude and neural network and compare them to find the best solution.

Activity Recognition Based on an Accelerometer in a Smartphone Using an FFT-Based New Feature and Fusion Methods
With the development of personal electronic equipment, the use of a smartphone with a tri-axial accelerometer to detect human physical activity is becoming popular. In this paper, we propose a new feature based on FFT for activity recognition from tri-axial acceleration signals. To improve the classification performance, two fusion methods, minimal distance optimization (MDO) and variance contr...
متن کاملApplication of a tri-axial accelerometer to estimate jump frequency in volleyball.
Patellar tendinopathy is prevalent among athletes, and most likely associated with a high jumping load. If methods for estimating jump frequency were available, this could potentially assist in understanding and preventing this condition. The objective of this study was to explore the possibility of using peak vertical acceleration (PVA) or peak resultant acceleration (PRA) measured by an accel...
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 کاملEvaluation of a threshold-based tri-axial accelerometer fall detection algorithm.
Using simulated falls performed under supervised conditions and activities of daily living (ADL) performed by elderly subjects, the ability to discriminate between falls and ADL was investigated using tri-axial accelerometer sensors, mounted on the trunk and thigh. Data analysis was performed using MATLAB to determine the peak accelerations recorded during eight different types of falls. These ...
متن کاملCreating a behavioural classification module for acceleration data: using a captive surrogate for difficult to observe species.
Distinguishing specific behavioural modes from data collected by animal-borne tri-axial accelerometers can be a time-consuming and subjective process. Data synthesis can be further inhibited when the tri-axial acceleration data cannot be paired with the corresponding behavioural mode through direct observation. Here, we explored the use of a tame surrogate (domestic dog) to build a behavioural ...
