Abstract(in English) The work burden of the caregiver is big issue in super aging society. Therefore, automatic analysis of the caregiver’s working posture is necessary for preventing them from the injury. We applied SVM to the depth information data of working posture and worked on automation of OWAS method widely used as an index of work posture evaluation and confirmed the possibility of automation. In this research, we improved the quality of training data using visualization of posture data group by clustering for improving the accuracy of this automatic evaluator, and evaluated the performance of classifier. As a result, we confirmed improvement of accuracy for upper limb classifiers, and clarified the necessity of surveying the method of measuring twisting for the trunk classifier.
