| Abstract |
In this paper, a new reliable portable activity monitoring device implemented with the buddhist-style bowing activity and walking step detection algorithm, is presented. In order to monitor the bowing and walking activities, miniaturized 3-axis accelerometer sensor with the sensitivity of 800 mV/g was used. After initial signal conditioning, vector magnitude of accelerometer signals was calculated. Syntactic peak detection method was used in order to feature points. All signal processing algorithms were implemented in ultra-low power microcontroller MSP430 with double precision floating point arithmetic. For evaluation, 19 young man(24.22 pm5.22 yrs) and woman(22.28 pm2.72 yrs) were involved. The accuracy of the proposed algorithms were 98.91 %( pm0.011) for walking step detection and 98.25 %( pm0.023) for buddhist-style bowing activity. Comparing to the commercialized pedometer accuracy, 87.1 %( pm0.058), the proposed walking step detection algorithms show more reliable accuracy. |
