Multi-sensor fusion technology based on inertial sensors frees the monitoring of the human body phase from space constraints and improves the flexibility of the system.

This paper proposes a selection framework for the sensor combination feature subset for motion phase segmentation, which combines feature selection algorithms with the subsequent classifiers, and determine the optimum combination of the sensor and the feature subset according to the performance of the trained model. Through the constraint and the sensor combination feature subset (SCFS), the filter method can select any number of sensors and control the size of the feature subset; the embedded method can select any number of sensors, but the size of the feature subset is determined by the classifier model. Experimental results show that the proposed framework can effectively select a specified number of sensors without human intervention, and the number of sensors has an impact on the recognition rate of the classifier within 1.5%. In addition, the filter method has good adaptability to a variety of classifiers, and the classifier prediction time can be controlled by setting the subset size of the feature; the embedded method can achieve a better phase segmentation effect than the filter method. For the application of motion phase segmentation, the proposed framework can reliably and quickly identify redundant sensors that provide effective support for reducing the complexity of the wearable sensor system and improving user comfort. |
