Question by xineal · Dec 03, 2014 at 04:35 PM · c#androidaccelerometerwindows phone 8

Implementing the pedometer to count step with Unity3d

I have tried to implement a pedometer with Unity3d in C# language. The code below is my code which I learn from http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/160106/implementing-a-psuedo-pedometer.html

I test this code with the accelerometer frequency of 30Hz.

I have some problems with the accuracy of this pedometer. When I try to test it in my skinny jean pocket, the step count doesn't work at all. Anyone here please help me to find the solution. Thank you very much :)

 private float loLim = 0.005F;
 private float hiLim = 0.3F;
 private int steps = 0;
 private bool stateH = false;
 private float fHigh = 8.0F;
 private float curAcc= 0F;
 private float fLow = 0.2F;
 private float avgAcc;
 
 public int stepDetector(){
     curAcc = Mathf.Lerp (curAcc, Input.acceleration.magnitude, Time.deltaTime * fHigh);
     avgAcc = Mathf.Lerp (avgAcc, Input.acceleration.magnitude, Time.deltaTime * fLow);
     float delta = curAcc - avgAcc;
         if (!stateH) { 
             if (delta > hiLim) {
                 stateH = true;
                 steps++;
             } else if (delta < loLim) {
                 stateH = false;
             }
             stateH = false;
         }
         avgAcc = curAcc;
         calDistance (steps);
 
     return steps;
 }

What exactly doesnt work?

Does it give you 0 steps?

Are you sure the hiLim and loLim are correct for the data you get?

I tested with the other types of pants which is not too fit and the result closes with the real step. For the data of hiLim and loLim, I change it from the experiment that I tried to do.

You logic withing the if statement is incorrect. It should be something like:

         if (!stateH) {
             if (delta > hiLim) {
                 stateH = true;
                 steps++;
             }
         } else {
             if (delta < loLim) {
                 stateH = false;
             }
         }

Also make sure you are calling the stepDetector function at every frame, preferably using FixedUpdate.
