A comparative study on wearables and single-camera video for upper-limb out-of-thelab activity recognition with different deep learning architectures (2402.05958v1)

Abstract: The use of a wide range of computer vision solutions, and more recently high-end Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) have become increasingly popular for assessing human physical activity in clinical and research settings. Nevertheless, to increase the feasibility of patient tracking in out-of-the-lab settings, it is necessary to use a reduced number of devices for movement acquisition. Promising solutions in this context are IMU-based wearables and single camera systems. Additionally, the development of machine learning systems able to recognize and digest clinically relevant data in-the-wild is needed, and therefore determining the ideal input to those is crucial.
