Abstract

We described a walking-posture classification method from a single accelerator attached to a human waist using a deep learning technique. We considered deep learning architectures for a single accelerator based on previous human activity recognition studies and investigated the classification accuracy of the proposed method using the walking-posture dataset. The results demonstrate that a deep learning approach to walking-posture classification using a single accelerator is more useful than the conventional SVM approach. Additionally, we also confirmed that a hybrid network architecture with three convolutional neural layers, two pooling layers between the convolutional layers, and a long short-term memory layer achieved the best accuracy of 0.9803 compared to other network architectures. We also confirmed the deep learning approach yielded more correct classification with less periods of each sample for each walking-posture category in spite of the difficulty to detect the classification by the SVM approach.
