Abstract :
This paper will present the comparison of experimental results for different sensitivity in the usage of MEMS accelerometers based on the eigenvector-based signal identification algorithm for multi-dimensional signal identification related to daily activities. Experimental results from sensors mounted on different locations on the human body will also be presented and discussed.
