Abstract:
In this work, we present an analysis of the relevance of different sensor types for the recognition of activities of daily living based on foot movement and position. By conducting a comprehensive experiment with 12 diverse volunteers that resulted in about 1 million data samples, and employing a machine learning HAR (Human Activity Recognition) classifier developed for a 9-activity classes model, we were able to assess the impact of sensor selection on the activity recognition accuracy. Aiming at a replicable research, we provide full hardware information, system source code and a public domain dataset.
