In this thesis, we present a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based method to classify a dataset consisting of subjects lifting an object from various positions relative to their bodies, labeled by the level of back pain risk attributed to the action. Specific improvements over other CNN-based models for both general and activity-based purposes include the use of average pooling and dropout layers. Methods to reshape accelerometer and gyroscope sensor data are also presented to encourage the model’s use with other datasets. When developing the model, a dataset previously developed by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) was used. It consists of 720 total trials of accelerometer and gyroscope data from subjects lifting an object at various relative distances from the body. In testing, 90.6% accuracy was achieved on the NIOSH lifting dataset, a significant improvement over other models tested. Saliency results are also presented to investigate underlying feature extraction and justify the results collected. 2020-10-05 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1583999458096255 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1583999458096255 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
