| Title: Complex Construction Activity Recognition System Based On Ergonomics Synergy | |
| Abstract: Construction activity recognition could be improved by data fusions from multiple inertial sensors yet the optimal placement for synergy need empirical determination. This study aims to identify complex construction activities based on ergonomics synergy through a series of experiments on construction tasks. The construction workers were equipped by data acquisition units to simultaneously acquire acceleration and angular velocity data for multiple locations. A complex construction activity recognition system was developed based on ergonomics synergy. Attempts in comparing various scenarios were to produce a better accuracy. | |
