Abstract

Portable devices, such as smart phones and personal digital assistants (PDAs) play an important role in our everyday life. In this paper, we propose a step count algorithm based on SVM(signal vector magnitude) and a adaptive threshold processing to monitor the physical activity. The algorithm measures a user's step counts using the smart phone's inbuilt accelerometer and g sensor. Experiment results showed the proposed algorithm has good performance in accuracy and adaptability than the app on your smart phone.

스마트 폰과 개인 휴대정보 단말기와 같은 장치는 일상생활에서 중요한 역할을 담당한다. 본 논문에서는 물리적 활동의 모니터링을 위해 신호벡터크기(signal vector magnitude)와 적응적인 임계값 처리에 기반한 걸음수 검출 알고리즘을 제안한다. 알고리즘은 스마트 폰에 내장된 가속도 센서와 중력 센서를 사용하여 걸음수를 측정한다. 실험결과 제안한 알고리즘이 스마트 폰의 어플에 비해 정확도와 적응성에서 좋은 성능을 나타내었다.
