  1. Why seated postures? Automobile Classroom Wheelchair Home Office

  2. Today’s talk Using posture information

  3. Existing approaches • KinestheticMotion-capture markers or conductive- elastomer-embedded fabrics Pellegrini and Iocchi., 2006

  4. Existing approaches • KinestheticMotion-capture markers or conductive- elastomer-embedded fabrics • Vision-basedImage sequences from a single camera or multiple cameras Tognetti et al., 2005

  5. Existing approaches • KinestheticMotion-capture markers or conductive- elastomer-embedded fabrics • Vision-basedImage sequences from a single camera or multiple cameras • Pressure-sensing-basedPressure readings from the seating surfaces Han et al., 2001

  6. Robust generalization Low-cost Near-real-time performance Challenges • Poor generalizationGood performance in classifying “familiar” subjects, poor performance with “unfamiliar” subjects due to high dimensionality. • High costHigh-fidelity pressure sensors are expensive. • Slow performanceProcessing high-fidelity sensor data demands computational power, which leads to slow processing.

  7. Our solution • Robust generalizationUp to 87% accuracy in classifying 10 postures with new subjects. • Low costUsing 19 pressure sensors instead of 4032. Reducing sensor cost from $3K to ~$100. • Near-real-time performance10Hz on a standard desktop computer • Novel methodologyUsing domain knowledge and near-optimal sensor placement.

  8. Methodology

  9. Learning Algorithm • Logistic RegressionSparse representation • Cross-validation10-fold, gender-balanced training and testing samples from different subjects • Separate setsTraining, testing, and reporting samples from 52 people in 5 trials • Implementation in Java ✴ • We would like to thank Hong Tan and Lynne Slivovsky for providing their data set for comparison.

  20. Dimensionality Reduction Sensor granularity

  21. Dimensionality Reduction How to place sensors? F • F, feature variables • V, locations and granularities • A subset A of V that maximizes information gain about F where H is entropy • NP-Hard optimization problem • We use near-optimal approximation algorithm V A ⊆ V IG(A;F) = H(F) - H(F | A)

  25. Methodology

  26. Prototyping

  27. Evaluation of prototype • 20 naive participants10-fold cross validation testing with %5 of the data • 78% accuracyIn classifying 10 postures • 10 Hz real-time performanceOn a standard desktop computer

  28. Methodology

  29. Conclusions • GeneralizabilityUp to 87% (with a base rate of 10%) achieved with unfamiliar subjects. • Low costHigher classification accuracy than existing systems using less than 1% of the sensors. ~ $100 sensor cost compared to the commercial sensor for $3K (33 times reduction in price). • Near-real-time performanceAt 10Hz on a standard desktop computer.

  30. Applications Automobile Classroom Wheelchair Home Office

  31. Next Steps Future challenges • Transferring learning across chairsA “transformation map” could be created • Only static posturesTemporal dimension needs to be considered • The set of ten posturesThe set of postures should come from the activity

  32. Summary of Contributions • A non-intrusive, robust, low-cost system that recognizes seated postures with generalizable, near-real-time performance. • A novel methodology that uses domain-knowledge and near-optimal sensor placement strategy for classification.
