Title
An Online Unsupervised Dynamic Window Method to Track Repeating Patterns From Sensor Data
Abstract
Short bursts of repeating patterns [intervals of recurrence (IoR)] manifest themselves in many applications, such as in the time-series data captured from an athlete’s movements using a wearable sensor while performing exercises. We present an efficient, online, one-pass, and real-time algorithm for finding and tracking IoR in a time-series data stream. We provide a detailed theoretical analysis of the behavior of any IoR and derive fundamental properties that can be used on real-world data streams. We show that why our method, unlike current state-of-the-art techniques, is robust to variations in repeats of the same pattern adjacent to each other. To evaluate our algorithm, we build a wearable device that runs our algorithm to conduct a user study. Our results show that our algorithm can detect intervals of repeating activities on edge devices with high accuracy (over 70% <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$F1$ </tex-math></inline-formula> -Score) and in a real-time environment with only a 1.5-s lag. Our experimental results from real-world datasets demonstrate that our approach outperforms state-of-the-art algorithms in both accuracy and robustness to variations of the signal of recurrence.
