Activity Recognition from Binary Data

Abstract

In this paper, an algorithm for the activity recognition from binarized accelerometric data is presented. The particularity of the proposed algorithm is the use of binary data, this constraint on data is justified by the fact that using binary data allows to save battery and memory on the connected device. The objective of the present study is to show that it is possible to perform activity recognition from these binary data. The proposed algorithm uses Auto Regressive (AR) modeling and classification using Support Vector Machine (SVM). Some results on a real-data experiment is presented for the recognition of three activity.
