Recognizing user activities using body-worn, miniaturized sensor nodes enables wearable computers to act contextaware. This paper describes how online activity recognition algorithms can be run on the SensorButton, our miniaturized wireless sensor platform. We present how the activity recognition algorithms have been optimized to be run online on our sensor platform, and how the execution can be distributed to the wireless sensor network. The resulting algorithm has been implemented as a custom, platform-specific executable as well as integrated into TinyOS. A comparison shows that the TinyOS executable is using about 7kB more code memory, while both implementations classify the activity in up to 18 classifications per second.
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.
