Activity/Posture Recognition using Wearable Sensors Placed on Different Body Locations

This paper presents an approach to activity/posture recognition using wearable sensors. The sensors consist of 3-axis accelerometer, 3D gyroscope and 3D magnetometer (3D compass). Several approaches of activity and posture recognition are analyzed, varying the number, type of the sensors and using different body placements. The effect of these different scenarios on the accuracy is investigated. Placements of up to three sensors are considered:...
