Abstract

The global statistics on health monitoring show that 15% of humans in the world live with some kind of disability. One of the fundamental rights of such people is the existence of companion to supervise their day-to-day activities. Smartphones are beneficial for this purpose of monitoring human activity and provide means that give high accuracy while estimating activities. Sensors such as accelerometer and gyroscope available in any smartphone can be used to record basic activities like walking, sitting, standing, etc., with the ones that involve postural transitions for example sit-to-lie, stand-to-sit, etc. This paper proposes a methodology in order to overcome the difficulty that lies in recognition of such activities with transitions using filtering, windowing and outlier detection. The results of the proposed methodology show that logistic regression classifier provides the highest accuracy of 96.16%. The analysis and approach outperform in comparison with the previous works of the researchers.
