A system called WiSDP, which is based on Wi‐Fi signals, to detect whether a Seated Dumbbell Press action is standard by using inexpensive consumer Wi‐Fi devices is proposed. Compared with the scheme based on high speed cameras and wearable sensors, Wi‐Fi devices are insensitive to light and colour, do not need wear any device, and decrease the risk of disclosing privacy. WiSDP senses environment changes through the Channel State Information which is fine‐grained physical layer information comparing to frequently used Received Signal Strength Indicator. Compared to the action recognition, action quality recognition depends on slight differences between a non‐standard action and standard actions, which makes it challenging. The authors propose an improved sliding window algorithm calculating action energy to extract Seated Dumbbell Press actions from the Channel State Information streams, estimate action quality by choosing an appropriate classifier and use Principal Component Analysis and Butterworth low‐pass filter to remove noise. The authors conduct experiments in two different scenarios and the average true positive rate of WiSDP are 94.66% and 95.11%, respectively.
In this paper, we propose an AHP-WKNN method for indoor localization which combines the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique and the Weighted
K
-nearest Neighbor (WKNN) algorithm. AHP serves to assign weights when WKNN is employed to select fingerprints for indoor positioning. The AHP technique can reasonably enlarge the influence that the received signal strength (RSS) gap between reference points has on the weights, achieving better performance in positioning. This paper also modifies the adaptive Kalman filter (AKF) noise reduction method by correcting the output based on the error between the RSS measurement and the expected output. The modified AKF can track the changes of RSS more effectively and achieve better performance of noise reduction. The simulation result shows that the proposed AHP-WKNN method and the modified AKF can improve positioning accuracy effectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
