Abstract

In human activity recognition, gesture spotting can be achieved by comparing the data from on-body sensors with a set of known gesture templates. This work presents a semi-supervised approach to template discovery in which the Dynamic Time Warping distance measure has been embedded in a classic clustering technique. Clustering is used to find a set of template candidates in an unsupervised manner, which are then evaluated by means of a supervised assessment of their classification performance. A cross-validation test over a benchmark dataset showed that our approach yields good results with the advantage of using a single sensor.
