Step Counting Using Smartphone-Based Accelerometer
Journal Title: International Journal on Computer Science and Engineering - Year 2012, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
This paper presents a method for counting the number of steps taken by a user, while walking at any variable speed, using smartphone-based accelerometer. For this purpose, the steps are detected based on a relation between frequency of step, which varies inversely with speed of motion, and the magnitude of accelerometer signal. The pattern of the forward acceleration was observed to arrive at the final relation.
