Movement recognition in the Blackbox

The Blackbox currently supports Laban Basic Effort recognition through the EffortDetect system. For a discussion on LMA recognition in general, see the section on sensor-based considerations in LMA recognition.

Movement recognition outside the Blackbox

In general, a variety of heuristic techniques are applicable to movement information derived from sensor data. The following techniques below represent some that have been reported in the literature:

  • Frequency-domain analysis (Yang & Hsu, 2010)
    • Analysis of variance
    • Analysis of frequency peaks
    • Discrete wavelet transform(Sekine, Tamura, Togawa, & Fukui, 2000)
    • Signal magnitude area (Karantonis, Narayanan, M. Mathie, Lovell, & Celler, 2006)
  • Statistical approaches (Yang & Hsu, 2010)
    • Decision trees (M. J. Mathie, Celler, Lovell, & Coster, 2004)
    • k-nearest neighbor
    • support vector machines
    • Naïve Bayes classifier
    • Gaussian mixture model
    • Hidden Markov models
    • Dynamic Conditional Random Field (Morency, Quattoni, & Darrell, 2007)
    • Boltzmann machines (Taylor & Hinton, 2009)

(Note: Dynamic conditional random fields and Boltzmann machines were suggested by AAAI reviewers for any future versions of EffortDetect.)
