Human motion not only contains a wealth of information about actions and intentions, but also about identity and personal attributes of the moving person. Research also indicates that there are positive relationships between the health of a person and their pattern of motion. In this research we utilize human walking data collected from volunteers to identify age categories and to detect possible changes in the individual's health condition.The approach is based on transforming biological motion data into a representation that subsequently allows for analysis using artificial intelligence techniques. Using wireless accelerometer sensors we were able to collect and transform the data into a numeric representation. We then applied the numeric data to various artificial intelligence algorithms to form classification models and use it for our analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
