Earable and Wrist-worn Setup for Accurate Step Counting Utilizing Body-Area Electrostatic Sensing [PDF]
arXivStep-counting has been widely implemented in wrist-worn devices and is accepted by end users as a quantitative indicator of everyday exercise. However, existing counting approach (mostly on wrist-worn setup) lacks robustness and thus introduces inaccuracy issues in certain scenarios like brief intermittent walking bouts and random arm motions or static
