Abstract. This paper presents a neuro-fuzzy classifer for activity recognition using one triaxial accelerometer and feature reduction approaches. We use a triaxial accelerometer to acquire subjects' acceleration data and train the neurofuzzy classifier to distinguish different activities/movements. To construct the neuro-fuzzy classifier, a modified mapping-constrained agglomerative clustering algorithm is devised to reveal a compact data configuration from the acceleration data. In addition, we investigate two different feature reduction methods, a feature subset selection and linear discriminate analysis. These two methods are used to determine the significant feature subsets and retain the characteristics of the data distribution in the feature space for training the neuro-fuzzy classifier. Experimental results have successfully validated the effectiveness of the proposed classifier.
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.
