Sitting posture analysis is critical for daily applications in biomedical, education and healthcare fields. However, it remains unclear how to monitor sitting posture economically and comfortably. To this end, we presented an eTextile device, called eCushion, in this paper, which can analyze the sitting posture of human being accurately and non-invasively. First, we discussed the implementation of eCushion and design challenges of sensing data, such as scale, offset, rotation and crosstalk. Then, several effective techniques have been proposed to improve the recognition rate of sitting posture. Our experimental results show that the recognition rate of our eCushion system could achieve 92% for object-oriented cases and 79% for general cases.
