요약 | The underconsumption of fluid is associated with multiple adverse health outcomes, including reduced cognitive function, obesity, and cancer. To aid individuals in maintaining adequate hydration, numerous sensing architectures for tracking fluid intake have been proposed. Amongst the various approaches considered, container-attachable inertial sensors offer a non-wearable solution capable of estimating aggregate consumption across multiple drinking containers. The research described herein demonstrates techniques for improving the performance of these devices.A novel sip detection algorithm designed to accommodate the variable duration and sparse occurrence of drinking events is presented at the beginning of this dissertation. The proposed technique identifies drinks using a two-stage segmentation and classification framework. Segmentation is performed using a dynamic partitioning algorithm which spots the characteristic inclination pattern of the container during drinking. Candidate drinks are then distinguished from handling activities with similar motion patterns using a support vector machine classifier. The algorithm is demonstrated to improve true positive detection rate from 75.1% to 98.8% versus a benchmark approach employing static segmentation. Multiple strategies for improving drink volume estimation performance are demonstrated in the latter portion of this dissertation. Proposed techniques are verified through a large-scale data collection consisting of 1,908 drinks consumed by 84 individuals over 159 trials. Support vector machine regression models are shown to improve per-drink estimation accuracy versus the prior state-of-the-art for a single inertial sensor, with mean absolute percentage error reduced by 11.1%. Aggregate consumption accuracy is also improved versus previously reported results for a container-attachable device.An approach for computing aggregate consumption using fill level estimates is also demonstrated. Fill level estimates are shown to exhibit superior accuracy with reduced inter-subject variance versus volume models. A heuristic fusion technique for further improving these estimates is also introduced herein. Heuristic fusion is shown to reduce root mean square error versus direct estimates by over 30%. The dissertation concludes by demonstrating the ability of the sensor to operate across multiple containers. |
