Children activity recognition from accelerometer data

Abstract

For online activity recognition of children the low power microcontrollers can be used. This device as computer USB-key can control the time of computer usage, because children are spending lot of time sitting at a computer and playing computer games. In this paper, method for physical motion recognition using k-nearest neighbour classifier is presented. The method is simple, exhibited good performance, don’t requires big computational recourses. So, it can be implemented in portable devices.
