CHILD ACTIVITY RECOGNITION BASED ON COOPERATIVE FUSION MODEL OF A TRIAXIAL ACCELEROMETER AND A BAROMETRIC PRESSURE SENSOR

AIM:
The main aim of this project is to present the activity recognition method for
children using a tri-axial accelerometer and a barometric pressure sensor.

COMPONENTS:
RFID Reader, Location tags, Gesture recognition sensor, Temperature Sensor,
Pressure Sensor, Pulse Sensor.

EXISTING METHOD:
There are several approaches proposed for activity recognition methods but none of
those have been really successful. As Babies usually start walking between 9 and 16
months, they are at risk of falling from furniture or stairs. As toddlers learn to climb, they
are at risk of falling from windows and beds. Falls are a frequent cause of injury in children.
Accident and emergency departments and outpatient surveillance systems show that falls
are one of the most common mechanisms of injuries that require medical care, and the
most common non-fatal injury that at times needs hospitalization. Thus, a new safety
management method for children is required to prevent child home accidents.
PROPOSED METHOD:
The proposed system consists of four main components: 1) the wearable sensor
node to measure movement from the ground by using a 3-axis accelerometer and a
pressure sensor; 2) the wireless receiver to receive the measured data over zigbee wireless
protocol and transmit it to PC; 3) the activity monitor and analyze working on the PC to

aggregate the measured raw data and to analyze behavioral characteristics using features
and classifiers. We develop a wearable sensor device and a monitoring application to
collect information and to recognize baby activities.
