AdaSense: Adaptive Low-Power Sensing and Activity Recognition for Wearable Devices

Wearable devices have strict power and memory limitations. As a result, there is a need to optimize the power consumption on those devices without sacrificing the accuracy. This paper presents AdaSense: a sensing, feature extraction and classification co-optimized framework for Human Activity Recognition. The proposed techniques reduce the power consumption by dynamically switching among different sensor configurations as a function of the user activity. The framework selects configurations that represent the pareto-frontier of the accuracy and energy trade-off. AdaSense also uses low-overhead processing and classification methodologies. The introduced approach achieves 69% reduction in the power consumption of the sensor with less than 1.5% decrease in the activity recognition accuracy.
