摘要
There are many problems in the current methods of recognition of human activities such as many sensors, complicated recognition algorithms, poor implementation, bad real-time performance and so on. Thus, an algorithm of human activities recognition based on single triaxial accelerometer was proposed. The acceleration data of the waist of body were collected whose features were extracted from within sliding time windows and processed via an algorithm based-on threshold. Four activities were recognized, which were long-term strenuous exercise, long-term stationary state, fall and normal activities. This method used single sensor with simplicity of soft hardware, and was easy to implement and carry. Furthermore, the results of the experiments show that the average response time of the algorithm is less than 1 s and the average accuracy is up to 99.3%, indicating its real-time performance and effectiveness. © 2016, Huazhong University of Science and Technology.
