The Median Point DTW Template to Classify Upper Limb Gestures at Different Speeds

Detecting activities of daily living (ADL) and classifying the gesture typology are important tasks for rehabilitation and for applications in robotics. The use of wearable sensors, such as accelerometers, could facilitate the previous tasks since it would open the possibility of monitoring patients in real-life conditions.
