Abstract
A method and apparatus for activity tracking based on time domain and frequency domain processing are disclosed. Embodiments according to the present invention are used to improve the accuracy of activity detection and step counting. The activity tracking starts from sample collection to generate 3-D accelerometer data. By pre-processing, the 3-D accelerometer data is calibrated and filtered. Then, the dominant component is calculated and statistical attributes or features used for activity detection are extracted. The statistical attributes are derived from time domain sensor data, frequency domain transformed data, or both. A classifier is developed using representative training data set. The activity detector determines the current activity status based on the statistical attributes and the classifier. To further refine the activity, post-processing is performed on the activity status.
