Introduction
Classifier Method
§  Motivation:
+ The exceptional development
of wearable sensors/devices
+ Human interaction with
the devices as part of daily living
+ Human activity data analysis
+ Useful healthcare services
§  Devices’ Accelerometers & Machine Learning algorithms to
recognize locomotion type
§  Providing users with human performance status
Decision Tree [2]
Architecture
+ Decision Tree (C4.5, ID3)
+ Root 1: Input (extracted features)
+ Node 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6: Based on the
value of the features, the nodes
decide which activity is labelled
