Simulation framework for reflective PPG signal analysis depending on sensor placement and wavelengthM. Reiser, A. Breidenassel, O. Amft IEEE-EMBS International Conference on Wearable and Implantable Body Sensor Networks, 27. – 30. September 2022, Ioannina, Griechenland Kurzfassung einblendenWe analyse the influence of reflective photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor positioning relative to blood vessels. A voxel based Monte Carlo simulation framework was developed and validated to simulate photon-tissue interactions. An anatomical model comprising a multi-layer skin description with a blood vessel is presented to simulate PPG sensor positioning at the volar wrist. The simulation framework was validated against standard test cases reported in literature. The blood vessel was considered in regular and dilated states. Simulations were performed with 10 8 photon packets and repeated five times for each condition, including wavelength, relative position of PPG sensor and vessel, and vessel dilation state. Statistical weights were associated to photon packets to represent absorption and scattering effects. A symmetrical arrangement of the PPG sensor around the blood vessel showed the maximum AC …

Proximity-based Eating Event Detection in Smart Eyeglasses with Expert and Data ModelsA. Saphala, R. Zhang, O. Amft ACM International Symposium on Wearable Computers, 11. – 15. September 2022, Atlanta & Cambridge, USA Kurzfassung einblendenWe compare performances of an expert model-based approach and a data-based baseline for eating event detection using proximity sensor data of smart eyeglasses. Proximity sensors in smart eyeglasses can provide dynamic distance estimates of cyclic temporalis muscle contraction during chewing without skin contact. Our expert model is based on proximity signal preprocessing and two-threshold grid search. In contrast, baseline data models were based on One-class Support-Vector-Machines. We evaluate both models with in-lab and free-living data from 15 participants. Free-living data were obtained across one day of wearing smart eyeglasses with temple-integrated proximity sensors in unconstrained settings. Overall, the retrieval performance F1 score of the two-threshold-based algorithm for free-living data ranged between 0.6 and 0.7, and outperformed all tested SVM model configurations. While SVM …

Non-contact temporalis muscle monitoring to detect eating in free-living using smart eyeglassesA. Saphala, R. Zhang, T. Nam Thái, O. Amft IEEE-EMBS International Conference on Wearable and Implantable Body Sensor Networks, 27. – 30. September 2022, Ioannina, Griechenland Kurzfassung einblendenWe investigate non-contact sensing of temporalis muscle contraction in smart eyeglasses frames to detect eating activity. Our approach is based on infra-red proximity sensors that were integrated into sleek eyeglasses frame temples. The proximity sensors capture distance variations between frame temple and skin at the frontal, hair-free section of the temporal head region. To analyse distance variations during chewing and other activities, we initially perform an in-lab study, where proximity signals and Electromyography (EMG) readings were simultaneously recorded while eating foods with varying texture and hardness. Subsequently, we performed a free-living study with 15 participants wearing integrated, fully functional 3Dprinted eyeglasses frames, including proximity sensors, processing, storage, and battery, for an average recording duration of 8.3hours per participant. We propose a new chewing sequence …

The Quest towards Automated Dietary Monitoring & Intervention in Free-livingO. Amft International Workshop on Multimedia Assisted Dietary Management, 10. Oktober 2022, Lisbon, Portugal Kurzfassung einblendenIn the first part of this talk, I will review the hunt for sensors that started of the field of automated dietary monitoring (ADM) and continues to play a role in shaping current research. Moreover, I will describe the eyeglasses-based sensors that we currently develop and their perspectives for free-living monitoring. Moving on, in part two, I will discuss digital twin-based co-simulation as a novel system design approach for wearable devices and their relevance for supporting machine learning algorithm development. Finally, in part three, I will extend the scope into technology-based dietary intervention, i.e., how ADM can support users in their daily life when targeting a diet change or body weight reduction. I will show examples from our work to create digital twins that model individual behavior, identify behavior changes, and interaction strategies to integrate in everyday life.

IMUAngle: Joint Angle Estimation with Inertial Sensors in Daily ActivitiesL. Uhlenberg, S. Hassan Gangaraju, O. Amft ACM International Symposium on Wearable Computers, 11.09. – 15.09.2022, Atlanta & Cambridge, USA Kurzfassung einblendenWe present a framework for IMU-based joint angle estimation during activities of daily living (ADL). Personalised musculoskeletal models were created from anthropometric data. Three sensor fusion algorithms were optimised to estimate orientation from IMU data and used as input for the simulation framework. Four ADLs, involving upper and lower limbs were simulated. Joint kinematics of IMU-based simulations were compared to optical marker-based simulations. Results for IMU-based simulations showed median RMSE of 0.8 − 15.5 ° for lower limbs and 1.5 − 33.9 ° for upper limbs. Median RMSE were 4.4 °, 5.8 °, 6.9 °, 6.5 ° for ankle plantarflexion, knee-, hip flexion, and hip rotation, respectively. For upper limbs, elbow flexion showed best median RMSE ∼ 3.7 °, whereas elevation angles (∼ 24.5 °) and shoulder rotation (∼ 12.5 °) performed worst. Increased RMSE at upper limbs was attributed to the degrees of freedom at the shoulder region compared to the hip. Overall, transversal plane movements (rotations) showed higher median RMSE compared to sagittal plane movements (flexion/extension). Optimisation of orientation estimators improved performance considerably depending on ADL (up to ∼ 20 °). Comparing sensor fusion algorithms, Madgwick and Mahony produced comparable joint kinematics, whereas the Extended Kalman Filter performance showed larger variability depending on the ADL. Our approach offers a realistic representation of joint kinematics and can be supported by optimising parameters of sensor fusion algorithms.

Comparison of Surface Models and Skeletal Models for Inertial Sensor Data SynthesisL. Uhlenberg, O. Amft IEEE-EMBS International Conference on Wearable and Implantable Body Sensor Networks, 27. – 30. September 2022, Ioannina, Griechenland Kurzfassung einblendenWe present a modelling and simulation framework to synthesise body-worn inertial sensor data based on personalised human body surface and biomechanical models. Anthropometric data and reference images were used to create personalised body surface mesh models. The mesh armature was aligned using motion capture reference pose and afterwards mesh and armature were parented. In addition, skeletal models were created using an established musculoskeletal dynamic modelling framework. Four activities of daily living (ADL), including upper and lower limbs were simulated with surface and skeletal models using motion capture data as stimuli. Acceleration and angular velocity data were simulated for 12 body areas of surface models and 8 body areas of skeletal models. We compared simulated inertial sensor data of both models against physical IMU measurements that were obtained simultaneously …

Development and Construction of a Parameterizable Condition Classification System for Electromagnetic Proportional Valves using Neuronal Networks (Nemoh / Neuromorphe Hardware für Anwendungen mit KI)D. Rossbach, M. Rüb, M. Kuderer, Y. Manoli MikroSystemTechnik Congress 2021, 8-10 Nov. 2021, Stuttgart-Ludwigsburg, Germany Kurzfassung einblendenIn this paper the development of a compact condition classification system for electromagnetic proportional valves is shown. It allows the generation of training data as well as a fast testing and comparison of different trained neuronal networks. By using quantization and pruning, a neuronal network with drastically reduced complexity has been created, so an FPGA implementation was possible. The developed and implemented network shows a very high classification rate and can distinguish 12 different error reasons of the valves. The system requires the measurement of the supply current only, which allows a simple integration of such a false detection circuitry into existing systems. In the future, the system can be modified easily, e.g. to use and test a hardware based AI accelerator instead of the FPGA implementation.

A survey of machine-learning techniques for condition monitoringand predictive maintenance of bearings in grinding machinesS. Schwendemann, Z. Amjad, A. Sikora Computers in Industry, Volume 125, Feb. 2021, 103380 Kurzfassung einblendenIt is important to minimize the unscheduled downtime of machines caused by outages of machine components in highly automated production lines. Considering machine tools such as, grinding machines, the bearing inside of spindles is one of the most critical components. In the last decade, research has increasingly focused on fault detection of bearings. In addition, the rise of machine learning concepts has also intensified interest in this area. However, up to date, there is no single one-fits-all solution for predictive maintenance of bearings. Most research so far has only looked at individual bearing types at a time.
