Human Posture Detection Method Based on Wearable Devices.

The dynamic detection of human motion is important, which is widely applied in the fields of motion state capture and rehabilitation engineering. In this study, based on multimodal information of surface electromyography (sEMG) signals of upper limb and triaxial acceleration and plantar pressure signals of lower limb, the effective virtual driving control and gait recognition methods were proposed. The effective way of wearable human posture detection was also constructed. Firstly, the moving average window and threshold comparison were used to segment the sEMG signals of the upper limb. The standard deviation and singular values of wavelet coefficients were extracted as the features. After the training and classification by optimized support vector machine (SVM) algorithm, the real-time detection and analysis of three virtual driving actions were performed. The average identification accuracy was 90.90%. Secondly, the mean, standard deviation, variance, and wavelet energy spectrum of triaxial acceleration were extracted, and these parameters were combined with plantar pressure as the gait features. The optimized SVM was selected for the gait identification, and the average accuracy was 90.48%. The experimental results showed that, through different combinations of wearable sensors on the upper and lower limbs, the motion posture information could be dynamically detected, which could be used in the design of virtual rehabilitation system and walking auxiliary system.
