- 揭示跨群体泛化与过渡阶段识别仍是主要挑战,适合康复设备与智能辅助研究者使用。
针对行动障碍人群的辅助设备(如动力外骨骼)依赖准确的步态模式识别来调整控制策略并提供适时帮助。现有公开基准多来自健康成年人,缺乏精确的时间标签以检测模式切换,或仅覆盖有限任务。为支持在真实临床约束与日常移动需求下的开发与评估,本文提出RevalExo——一个面向惯性与视觉步态模式识别的功能性日常活动基准。该基准基于经临床与生态验证的标准化日常活动协议,涵盖三组人群:无行动障碍老年人、中风幸存者及疑似肌少症老年人,共27名参与者。全量数据通过下肢惯性传感器采集,13名参与者同步获取第一人称视角视频。RevalExo提供10.1小时帧级标注,覆盖11种步态模式,其中5.1小时为惯性-视觉配对数据。我们设立三项挑战:跨时间尺度的单模态与多模态识别、从健康老年人到临床人群的跨群体泛化、基于视觉的知识迁移至仅惯性模型。结果表明,多模态融合带来稳定提升,但整体识别率(约93% F1)与过渡阶段识别率(约68% F1)存在显著差距,跨群体泛化与跨模态迁移仍面临挑战。我们公开发布RevalExo以推动相关研究。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Assistive devices for people with mobility impairments, such as powered exoskeletons, rely on accurate locomotion mode recognition to adapt control strategies and provide appropriate assistance during daily activities. However, public benchmarks are typically collected from healthy adults, lack temporally precise labels necessary for detecting mode transitions, or focus on a limited set of tasks. To support development and evaluation under realistic clinical constraints and daily mobility demands, we introduce RevalExo, a functional daily-activity benchmark for inertial and visual locomotion mode recognition. RevalExo is built around a standardized, clinically and ecologically validated daily-activity protocol reflecting the cumulative everyday mobility demands in ageing and clinical populations. The benchmark includes 27 participants across three cohorts: older adults without mobility impairments, stroke survivors, and older adults with probable sarcopenia. The full cohort was recorded with lower-body IMUs, while synchronized egocentric video was collected for a clinically feasible subset of 13 participants. RevalExo provides 10.1 hours of frame-level annotations across 11 locomotion modes, including 5.1 hours of paired inertial--visual recordings. We benchmark three challenges: unimodal and multimodal locomotion mode recognition across multiple horizons, cross-population generalization from older adults without mobility impairments to clinical cohorts, and vision-guided knowledge transfer to IMU-only models. Results confirm consistent gains from fusing inertial and visual inputs but reveal a substantial gap between general recognition ($\sim$93\% F1) and recognition during transitions ($\sim$68\% F1), alongside persistent challenges in cross-population generalization and cross-modal transfer. We release RevalExo to stimulate further research on these open challenges.
