Life patterns : structure from wearable sensors
… methods for extracting life's patterns from wearable sensor data. Life patterns are the reoccurring events in daily behavior, such as those induced by the regular cycle of night and day, weekdays and weekends, work and play, eating and sleeping. My hypothesis is that since a "raw, low-level" …

Tracking and Analysis of Ecological Human Walking With Wearable Sensors
Gait studies performed in a laboratory setting might not fully represent real-life walking. Walking under constrained conditions, such as fixed speed or distance, can alter a person's gait. Humans often walk relatively short bouts that lack a steady speed, and longer bouts of varying movement …
