Detection of Motion on a Trampoline with a Smartwatch

Abstract

In this study, we develop a method for detecting the motions performed on a trampoline using an accelerometer mounted on a smartwatch. This method will lead to a system that can be used to promote trampoline exercise using a home trampoline by detecting motions on the trampoline using a smartwatch. We proposed a method based on the convolutional neural network to detect the motions on a trampoline. As a result of the performance evaluation by leave-one-subject-out cross-validation on eight subjects, our method achieves 78.8% estimation accuracy, which is the best estimation accuracy compared to the baseline methods. We also evaluate the inference time and the battery consumption when the model is actually running on a smartwatch. Our method is effective for on-device prediction.
