- Postural sway is a critical measure for evaluating postural control, and its analysis plays a vital role in preventing falls among the elderly. Typically, physiotherapists assess an individual's postural control using tests such as the Berg Balance Scale, Tinetti Test, and time up-and-go test. Sensor-based analysis is available based on devices such as force plates or inertial measurement units. Recently, machine learning methods have demonstrated promising results in the sensor-based analysis of postural control. However, these models are often complex, slow, and energy-intensive. To address these limitations, this study explores the design space of lightweight machine learning models deployable to microcontrollers to assess postural stability. We developed an artificial neural network (ANN) model and compare its performance to that of random forests, gaussian naive bayes, and extra tree classifiers. The models are trained using a sway dataset with varying input sizes and signal-to-noise ratios. The dataset comprises two feature vectors extracted from raw accelerometer data. The developed models are deployed to an ARM Cortex M4-based microcontroller, and their performance is evaluated and compared. We show that the ANN model has 99.03% accuracy, higher noise immunity, and the model performs better with a window size of one second with 590.96 us inference time.

- Precision livestock farming allows farmers to optimize herd management while significantly reducing labor needs. Individualized monitoring of cattle feeding behavior offers valuable data to assess animal performance and provides valuable insights into animal welfare. Current acoustic foraging activity recognizers achieve high recognition rates operating on computers. However, their implementations on portable embedded systems (for use on farms) need further investigation. This work presents two embedded deployments of a state-of-the-art foraging activity recognizer on a low-power ARM Cortex-M0+ microcontroller. The parameters of the algorithm were optimized to reduce power consumption. The embedded algorithm processes masticatory sounds in real-time and uses machine-learning techniques to identify grazing, rumination and other activities. The overall classification performance of the two embedded deployments achieves an 84% and 89% balanced accuracy with a mean power consumption of 1.8 mW and 12.7 mW, respectively. These results will allow this deployment to be integrated into a self-powered acoustic sensor with wireless communication to operate autonomously on cattle.

Optimizing the IoT Performance : A Case Study on Pruning a Distributed CNN

- Implementing Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) based computer vision algorithms in Internet of Things (IoT) sensor nodes can be difficult due to strict computational, memory, and latency constraints. To address these challenges, researchers have utilized techniques such as quantization, pruning, and model partitioning. Partitioning the CNN reduces the computational burden on an individual node, but the overall system computational load remains constant. Additionally, communication energy is also incurred. To understand the effect of partitioning and pruning on energy and latency, we conducted a case study using a feet detection application realized with Tiny Yolo-v3 on a 12th Gen Intel CPU with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 GPU. After partitioning the CNN between the sequential layers, we apply quantization, pruning, and compression and study the effects on energy and latency. We analyze the extent to which computational tasks, data, and latency can be reduced while maintaining a high level of accuracy. After achieving this reduction, we offloaded the remaining partitioned model to the edge node. We found that over 90% computation reduction and over 99% data transmission reduction are possible while maintaining mean average precision above 95%. This results in up to 17x energy savings and up to 5.2x performance speed-up.
