A Survey on Approaches of Motion Mode Recognition Using Sensors

Recognition of the mode of motion or mode of transit of the user or platform carrying a device is needed in portable navigation, as well as other technological domains. An extensive survey on motion mode recognition approaches is provided in this survey paper. The survey compares and describes motion mode recognition approaches from different viewpoints: usability and convenience, types of devices in terms of setup mounting and data acquisition, various types of sensors used, signal processing methods employed, features extracted, and classification techniques. This paper ends with a quantitative comparison of the performance of motion mode recognition modules developed by researchers in different domains.
