Title
Knowledge Acquisition Method Based on Singular Value Decomposition for Human Motion Analysis
Abstract
The knowledge remembered by the human body and reflected by the dexterity of body motion is called embodied knowledge. In this paper, we propose a new method using singular value decomposition for extracting embodied knowledge from the time-series data of the motion. We compose a matrix from the time-series data and use the left singular vectors of the matrix as the patterns of the motion and the singular values as a scalar, by which each corresponding left singular vector affects the matrix. Two experiments were conducted to validate the method. One is a gesture recognition experiment in which we categorize gesture motions by two kinds of models with indexes of similarity and estimation that use left singular vectors. The proposed method obtained a higher correct categorization ratio than principal component analysis (PCA) and correlation efficiency (CE). The other is an ambulation evaluation experiment in which we distinguished the levels of walking disability. The first singular values derived from the walking acceleration were suggested to be a reliable criterion to evaluate walking disability. Finally we discuss the characteristic and significance of the embodied knowledge extraction using the singular value decomposition proposed in this paper.
