In this paper, we present initial thoughts on an approach to ontology/logic-based intention recognition based on the recognition, representation, and ordering of states. This is different than traditional approaches to intention recognition, which use activity recognition and the ordering of activities. State recognition and representation offer numerous advantages, including the ability to inf...

User’s volitional control of lower limb prostheses is still challenging task despite technological advancements. There is still a need for amputees to impose their will upon the prosthesis to drive in an accurate and interactive fashion. This study represents a brief review on control strategies using different sensor modalities for the purpose of phases/events detection and activity recognitio...

In this paper, we present a method for the recognition of human activities. The proposed approach is based on the construction of a set of templates for each activity as well as on the measurement of the motion in each activity. Templates are designed so that they capture the structural and motion information that is most discriminative among activities. The direct motion measurements capture t...

speech emotion can add more information to speech in comparison to available textual information. however, it will also lead to some problems in speech recognition process. in a previous study, we depicted the substantial changes of speech parameters caused by speech emotion. therefore, in order to improve emotional speech recognition rate, in a first step, the effects of emotion on speech par...

Activity monitoring is a technique for assessing the physical activity that person undertakes over some time. Index (AI) metric summarizes raw measurements from tri-axial accelerometers, often used measuring activity. Our research compared different groups and hand usage [1]. We also tested this as classification feature, how data acquisition segmentation parameter configurations influence accu...
