Abstract

Determining a type of actor performing an activity includes monitoring the performance of the activity via at least one sensor to produce activity readings over a dimension. The activity readings are then compared to reference readings that are generated based on a machine performing same activity. The comparison of the reference readings to the activity readings is used to determine a variance between the activity readings and reference readings. Once the variance is determined, the variance is compared with a threshold value to determine the type of actor performing the activity.
