APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR EVENT CLASSIFICATION BASED ON BAROMETRIC PRESSURE SENSOR DATA

An apparatus for event detection is provided. The apparatus comprises an error signal determiner (110) configured for determining an error signal portion depending on a pressure signal. The error signal determiner (110) is configured to determine a predicted signal portion depending on a first signal portion of the pressure signal. Moreover, the error signal determiner (110) is configured to determine the error signal portion depending on the predicted signal portion and depending on a second signal portion of the pressure signal, wherein the second signal portion of the pressure signal succeeds the first signal portion of the pressure signal in time. Moreover, the apparatus comprises a classifier (120) configured for determining, depending on the error signal portion, whether an event of a group of one or more events has occurred or whether no event of said group has occurred.
