title = "Improving human motion identification using motion dependent classification",
abstract = "In this article, we present a new methodology for human motion identification based on motion dependent binary classifiers that afterwards fuse their decisions to identify an Activity of Daily Living (ADL). Temporal and spectral features extracted from the sensor signals (accelerometer and gyroscope) and concatenated to a single feature vector are used to train motion dependent binary classification models. Each individual model is capable to recognize one motion versus all the others. Afterwards the decisions are combined by a fusion function using as weights the sensitivity values derived from the evaluation of each motion dependent classifier on the provided training set. The proposed methodology was evaluated using SVMs for the motion dependent classifiers and is compared against the common multiclass classification approach optimized using either feature selection or subject dependent classification. The classification accuracy of the proposed methodology reaches 99% offering competitive performance comparing to the other approaches.",
