Abstract

Analog-to-Feature (A2F) conversion based on Non-Uniform Wavelet Sampling (NUWS) has demonstrated the ability to drastically reduce the energy consumption in wireless sensors while employed for electrocardiogram (ECG) anomaly detection. The underlying idea is to extract relevant features from the analog signal and perform the classification in the digital domain. We adopt the same approach for a human activity recognition (HAR) task, considered as a second application for a proposed generic A2F converter. By extracting only 16 features from the inertial signals of the UCI-HAR data set and using these features as inputs for a simple Neural Network, we achieved an 87.7% accuracy in multiclass classification. From the simulation results, we defined the relevant features and the hardware specifications required for a complete circuit design and chip fabrication.
