Abstract

The Nokia Wrist–Attached Sensor Platform (NWSP) was developed at the Nokia Research Center during the NUADU project to facilitate research and demonstrations of use cases of wearable wireless sensors. A wrist–worn pedometer application was implemented as one of the demonstrations of the capabilities of the platform. In this paper the step counting algorithm is described and the performance is evaluated. The application is targeted for running exercise. However, the detection of steps during walking is also discussed.

In my opinion, the easy communication was the most important characteristic of Libertas and an important influence on the final quality of the article. I definitely recommend the publisher to my co-workers.
