Rehabilitation and evaluation of motor function are important for motor disabled patients. In stride length estimation using an IMU attached to the foot, it is necessary to detect the time of the movement state, in which acceleration should be integrated. In our previous study, acceleration thresholds were used to determine the integration section, so it was necessary to adjust the threshold values for each subject. The purpose of this study was to develop a method for estimating stride length automatically using an artificial neural network (ANN). In this paper, a 4-layer ANN with feature extraction layers trained by autoencoder was tested. In addition, the methods of searching for the local minimum of acceleration or ANN output after detecting the movement state section by ANN were examined. The proposed method estimated the stride length for healthy subjects with error of -1.88 ± 2.36%, which was almost the same as the previous threshold based method (-0.97 ± 2.68%). The correlation coefficients between the estimated stride length and the reference value were 0.981 and 0.976 for the proposed and previous methods, respectively. The error ranges excluding outliers were between -7.03% and 3.23%, between -7.13% and 5.09% for the proposed and previous methods, respectively. The proposed method would be effective because the error range was smaller than the conventional method and no threshold adjustment was required.

Very few existing works about inertial sensor based air-writing focused on writing constraints' effects on recognition performance. We proposed a LSTM-based system and made several quantitative analyses under different constraints settings against CHMM, DTW-AP and CNN. The proposed system shows its advantages in accuracy, real-time performance and flexibility.
The research on inertial sensor based human action detection and recognition (HADR) is a new area in machine learning. We propose a novel time sequence based interval convolutional neutral networks framework for HADR by combining interesting interval proposals generator and interval-based classifier. Experiments demonstrate the good performance of our method.

We propose a novel neural networks model based on LSTM which is used to solve the task of classifying inertial sensor data attached to a fence with the goal of detecting security relevant incidents. To evaluate it we deployed an experimental fence surveillance system. By comparing experimental data of different approaches we find out that the neural network outperforms the baseline approach.
