This work deals with the elimination of sensitivity to sensor orientation in the task of human daily activity recognition using a single miniature inertial sensor. The proposed method detects time intervals of walking, automatically estimating the orientation in these intervals and transforming the observed signals to a “virtual” sensor orientation. Classification results show that excellent performance, in terms of both precision and recall (up to 100%), is achieved, for long-term recordings in real-life settings.
