Sleeping Posture Recognition of Air Cushion Body Pressure Features Based on Attention, Spatial and Temporal Extraction
摘要
Sleeping posture significantly impacts human health. To address the challenges of high cost and high complexity in existing sleeping posture recognition techniques, we propose a novel method leveraging attention mechanisms and spatio-temporal extraction of body pressure features from an air cushion. The method utilizes a partitioned structured air cushion to unobtrusively collect non-image pressure data from various body parts. Spatial structural features are extracted by a one-dimensional convolutional neural network (1DCNN), and the key time steps are dynamically weighted using the attention mechanism, and the effective fusion of spatio-temporal features is achieved by combining with long short-term memory (LSTM). The recognition results are output through softmax classifier, while the air cushion softness is adjusted to fit the spine curve. Cross-validation results indicate that the proposed method integrates shoulder-to-hip body pressure ratios and spatio-temporal features, achieving 93% accuracy on the self-acquired dataset. The small number of parameters and easy portability provide an innovative and scalable solution for health monitoring and sleep intervention.
