T Ito: Walking Motion Analysis Using Small Acceleration Sensors
نویسنده
چکیده
Human walking motion shows various information including involuntary behaviors such as walking patterns, ground conditions, health conditions, as well as conscious actions such as system control and communication. Such information can be used to establish interface with ubiquitous network systems. Therefore, human walking motion detection plays a key role for such interface. Human motion including walking motion can be analyzed with the motion capturing systems. However, those systems require spatial hardware such as sensors and cameras, and special environments for the measurement. Therefore, it is not suitable for the everyday life. Video image analysis is also proposed to trace the human motion as an alternative approach. However, this is not suitable for the daily use, either. This paper proposes a new approach towards the estimation of human walking motion using wearable small acceleration sensors and several other sensors, which can be used in everyday life. Compared to the typical approach using the motion capturing system to capture and track human motion, this paper discusses the feasibility of the proposed approach using the walking motion simulation..

متن کاملGait analysis using gravitational acceleration measured by wearable sensors.
A novel method for measuring human gait posture using wearable sensor units is proposed. The sensor units consist of a tri-axial acceleration sensor and three gyro sensors aligned on three axes. The acceleration and angular velocity during walking were measured with seven sensor units worn on the abdomen and the lower limb segments (both thighs, shanks and feet). The three-dimensional positions...

متن کاملRegression Model-Based Walking Speed Estimation Using Wrist-Worn Inertial Sensor
Walking speed is widely used to study human health status. Wearable inertial measurement units (IMU) are promising tools for the ambulatory measurement of walking speed. Among wearable inertial sensors, the ones worn on the wrist, such as a watch or band, have relatively higher potential to be easily incorporated into daily lifestyle. Using the arm swing motion in walking, this paper proposes a...
