• abstract = "Activity and gesture recognition from body-worn acceleration sensors is an important application in body area sensor networks. The key to any such recognition task are discriminative and variation tolerant features. Furthermore good features may reduce the energy requirements of the sensor network as well as increase the robustness of the activity recognition. We propose a feature extraction method based on genetic programming. We benchmark this method using two datasets and compare the results to a feature selection which is typically used for obtaining a set of features. With one extracted feature we achieve an accuracy of 73.4percent on a fitness activity dataset, in contrast to 70.1percent using one selected standard feature. In a gesture based HCI dataset we achieved 95.0percent accuracy with one extracted feature. A selection of up to five standard features achieved 90.6percent accuracy in the same setting. On the HCI dataset we also evaluated the robustness of extracted features to sensor displacement which is a common problem in movement based activity and gesture recognition. With one extracted features we achieved an accuracy of 85.0percent on a displaced sensor position. With the best selection of standard features we achieved 55.2percent accuracy. The results show that our proposed genetic programming feature extraction method is superior to a feature selection based on standard features.",
