Human activity recognition via triaxial accelerometers can provide valuable information for evaluating functional abilities. In this paper, we present an accelerometer sensor-based approach for human activity recognition. Our proposed recognition method used a hierarchical scheme, where the recognition of ten activity classes was divided into five distinct classification problems. Every classifier used the Least Squares Support Vector Machine (LS-SVM) and Naive Bayes (NB) algorithm to distinguish different activity classes. The activity class was recognized based on the mean, variance, entropy of magnitude, and angle of triaxial accelerometer signal features. Our proposed activity recognition method recognized ten activities with an average accuracy of 95.6% using only a single triaxial accelerometer.
