Abstract
The analysis of gait data has been a challenging problem and several new approaches have been proposed in recent years. This paper describes a novel front-end for classification of gait patterns using data obtained from a tri-axial accelerometer. The novel features consist of delta features, low and high frequency signal variations and energy variations in both frequency bands. The back-end of the system is a Gaussian mixture model based classifier. Using Bayesian adaptation, an overall classification accuracy of 96.1% was achieved for five walking patterns.
