Analysis of Low Resolution Accelerometer Data for Continuous Human Activty Recognition [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
The advent of wearable sensors like accelerometers has opened a plethora\$\textbackslash{}backslash\$nof opportunities to recognize human activities from other low resolution\$\textbackslash{}backslash\$nsensory streams. In this paper we formulate recognizing activities from\$\textbackslash{}backslash\$naccelerometer data as a classification problem. In addition to the\$\textbackslash{}backslash\$nstatistical and spectral features extracted from the acceleration data,\$\textbackslash{}backslash\$nwe propose to extract features that characterize the variations in the\$\textbackslash{}backslash\$nfirst order derivative of the acceleration signal. We evaluate the\$\textbackslash{}backslash\$nperformance of different state of the art discriminative classifiers\$\textbackslash{}backslash\$nlike, boosted decision stumps (AdaBoost), support vector machines (SVM)\$\textbackslash{}backslash\$nand Regularized Logistic Regression(RLogReg) under three different\$\textbackslash{}backslash\$nevaluation scenarios(namely Subject Independent, Subject Adaptive and\$\textbackslash{}backslash\$nSubject Dependent). We propose a novel computationally inexpensive\$\textbackslash{}backslash\$nmethodology for incorporating smoothing classification temporally, that\$\textbackslash{}backslash\$ncan be coupled with any classifier with minimal training for classifying\$\textbackslash{}backslash\$ncontinuous sequences. While a 3% increase in the classification\$\textbackslash{}backslash\$naccuracy was observed on adding the new features, the proposed technique\$\textbackslash{}backslash\$nfor continuous recognition showed a 2.5-3% improvement in the\$\textbackslash{}backslash\$nperformance.
