Relative Motion Analysis - Acceleration

Relative Motion Analysis - Acceleration

A slider-crank mechanism converts rotational motion from the crank into linear motion of the slider or vice versa. This mechanism consists of three main parts: the crank, the connecting rod, and the slider. The movement of the slider-crank is an example of general plane motion as the fluctuating angle between the crank and the connecting rod. Consider a segment AB where point A is at the end of the slider and point B is on the diametrically opposite end to point A, on a crack. The variance in...

Relative Motion Analysis using Rotating Axes

Relative Motion Analysis using Rotating Axes

Consider a component AB undergoing a linear motion. Along with a linear motion, point B also rotates around point A. To comprehend this complex movement, position vectors for both points A and B are established using a stationary reference frame.
However, to express the relative position of point B relative to point A, an additional frame of reference, denoted as x'y', is necessary. This additional frame not only translates but also rotates relative to the fixed frame, making it...

Background:

Smartphone-based human activity recognition (HAR) is popular due to low computational needs and privacy.
Existing HAR methods face challenges like laborious feature engineering and limitations of conventional neural networks.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose a lightweight and reliable smartphone-based HAR architecture.
To address the limitations of existing methods in extracting temporal features efficiently.

Main Methods:

Introduced Lightweight Parallel Temporal Network (Light-PTNet) with parallel Light Spatial-Temporal Convolutional (LSTC) Heads.
Utilized dilations and residual connections to capture multi-scale patterns and long-term dependencies.
Evaluated performance on UCI HAR, WISDM V1, and UniMiB SHAR datasets using a user-independent protocol.

Main Results:

Achieved high accuracy: 98.03% on UCI HAR, 97.02% on WISDM V1, and 81.58% on UniMiB SHAR.
Demonstrated efficiency with fewer than 0.1 million model parameters.
Validated the effectiveness of LSTC Heads in capturing spatial-temporal patterns.

Conclusions:

Light-PTNet provides a lightweight and effective solution for smartphone-based HAR.
The proposed architecture balances performance and computational efficiency for real-time applications.
This work advances the development of practical HAR systems.
