2019 Proceeding- Conference Chairs:
- Thomas Kirste,
- Mario Aehnelt
iWOAR is an international workshop with conference character, which takes place at the Baltic Sea in the north of Germany. The event is initiated and organized by the Mobile Multimedia Information Systems Group at the University of Rostock and the Fraunhofer IGD in Rostock. It offers scientists, interested parties, and users in the field of sensor-based activity recognition and interaction the opportunity to exchange experiences and to present best-practice examples, as well as technical and scientific results.

Towards automatic pathology classification for a 24/7 ECG-based telemonitoring service
We present work in progress focusing on an extension of a 24/7 monitoring system for persons at cardiac risk, a system that allows patients to move freely in and outside of clinical settings. The system consists of a comprehensive sensor patch, a relay ...
A survey on vibration and sound analysis for disease detection of knee and hip joints
The knee is the largest joint in the human body. Unfortunately, some hips or knee joints suffer on inflammation, misalignment, degeneration, trauma as well as diseases like arthritis or osteoporosis. Modern medicine can measure the joint condition or, ...

Epilepsy seizure detection with wearable devices is an emerging research field. As opposed to the gold standard, consisting of simultaneous video and EEG monitoring of patients, wearables have the advantage that they put a lower burden on epilepsy ...
Fluid intake recognition using inertial sensors
As one of many uses of body-worn inertial sensors, health monitoring applications can have a significant impact on the quality of life for a user even with inexpensive consumer electronics. In this paper, we address fluid intake monitoring as an ...
Subject-dependent and -independent human activity recognition with person-specific and -independent models
The distinction between subject-dependent and subject-independent performance is ubiquitous in the Human Activity Recognition (HAR) literature. We test the hypotheses that HAR models achieve better subject-dependent performance than subject-independent ...
Towards estimation of cooking complexity: free-text annotations in the kitchen environment
Activity and decision-making around nutrition are important aspects of naturalistic human behaviour. This paper describes a participant-centric free-text annotation process intended to facilitate activity recognition in the kitchen environment. The ...
"SmartPointer": buttonless remote control based on structured light and intuitive gestures
The concept and design guidelines for an universal gesture-based remote control with simple intuitive operating are presented. The hand-held buttonless "SmartPointer" emits "structured" infrared (IR) light with a spatial pattern projected by a ...
Cognitive assessment in children through motion capture and computer vision: the cross-your-body task
This paper focuses on creating video-based human activity recognition methods towards an automated cognitive assessment system for children. We present the Activate Test for Embodied Cognition (ATEC), which assesses executive functioning in children ...
An automated assessment system for embodied cognition in children: from motion data to executive functioning

- Morris Bell,
- Vassilis Athitsos,
- Fillia Makedon
We present our preliminary data analysis towards an automated assessment system for the Activate Test for Embodied Cognition (ATEC), a test which measures cognitive skills through physical activity. More specifically, we present two core ATEC tasks ...
