An Introduction to IoT-Based Posture Detection and Underlying Sensor Technology
Jahnvi Gupta, Nitin Gupta, Mukesh Kumar, Ritwik Duggal · 2022
Analysis of human posture has many applications in the field of sports and medical science including patient monitoring, lifestyle analysis, elderly care etc. Many of the works in this area have been based on computer vision techniques. These are limited in providing real-time solutions. Thus, Internet of Things based solutions are being planned and used for human posture recognition and detection. The data collected from sensors is then passed to machine learning or deep learning algorithms to find different patterns. In this chapter, an introduction to IoT based posture detection is provided with an introduction to underlying sensor technology, which can help in selection of appropriate sensors for posture detection.
