Abstract

In this paper developed a wearable activity device and algorithm which can be converted into the real-time activity and monitoring by acquiring sensor row data to be occurred when a person is walking by using a tri-axial accelerometer. Test was proceeded at various step speeds such as slow walking, walking, fast walking, slow running, running and fast running, etc. for 36 minutes in accordance with the test protocol after wearing a metabolic test system(K4B2), Actical and the device developed in this study at the treadmill with 59 participants of subjects as its target. To measure the activity of human body, a regression equation estimating the Energy Expenditure(EE) was drawn by using data output from the accelerometer and information on subjects. As a result of experiment, the recognition rate of algorithm being proposed was shown the activity conversion algorithm was enhanced by 1.61% better than the performance of Actical.

본 논문에서는 3축 가속도 센서를 소형 디바이스(활동량 측정기)로 구성하고 이를 사람의 신체에 착용하고 사람이 보행 시 발생하는 가속도 센서의 Raw 데이터 출력 값을 획득하여 실시간 활동량으로 변환하고 모니터링 할 수 있는 활동량 측정기와 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 피험자 59명을 대상으로 트레드밀(Treadmill)에서 호흡가스대사분석기(K4B2), Actical 그리고 본 연구에서 개발된 활동량 측정기를 착용 후 36분 동안 테스트 프로토콜에 따라 다양한 속력의 걸음(느리게 걷기, 걷기, 빠르게 걷기, 천천히 뛰기, 뛰기, 빠르게 뛰기)에 대해서 실험을 하였다. 가속도 센서의 출력 데이터와 피험자 정보를 이용하여 에너지소비량(Energy Expenditure :EE)을 추정하는 회귀식을 도출하였으며 이는 실험시 같이 착용한 Actical보다 제안하는 활동량 변환 알고리즘의 성능이 1.61% 향상 되었다.
