Sitting Posture Recognition Using a Spiking Neural Network (2212.12908v1)

Abstract: To increase the quality of citizens' lives, we designed a personalized smart chair system to recognize sitting behaviors. The system can receive surface pressure data from the designed sensor and provide feedback for guiding the user towards proper sitting postures. We used a liquid state machine and a logistic regression classifier to construct a spiking neural network for classifying 15 sitting postures. To allow this system to read our pressure data into the spiking neurons, we designed an algorithm to encode map-like data into cosine-rank sparsity data. The experimental results consisting of 15 sitting postures from 19 participants show that the prediction precision of our SNN is 88.52%.
