Nowadays, human activity recognition (HAR) plays an important role in wellness-care and context-aware systems. Human activities can be recognized in real-time by using sensory data collected from various sensors built in smart mobile devices. Recent studies have focused on HAR that is solely based on triaxial accelerometers, which is the most energy-efficient approach. However, such HAR approaches are still energy-inefficient because the accelerometer is required to run without stopping so that the physical activity of a user can be recognized in real-time. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for HAR process that controls the activity recognition duration for energy-efficient HAR. We investigated the impact of varying the acceleration-sampling frequency and window size for HAR by using the variable activity recognition duration (VARD) strategy. We implemented our approach by using an Android platform and evaluated its performance in terms of energy efficiency and accuracy. The experimental results showed that our approach reduced energy consumption by a minimum of about 44.23% and maximum of about 78.85% compared to conventional HAR without sacrificing accuracy.

The Impact

Human activity recognition (HAR) is a popular field of study. The outcomes of the projects in this area have the potential to impact on the quality of life of people with conditions such as dementia. HAR is focused primarily on applying machine learning classifiers on data from low level sensors such as accelerometers. The performance of these classifiers can be improved through an adequate training process. In order to improve the training process, multivariate outlier detection was used in order to improve the quality of data in the training set and, subsequently, performance of the classifier. The impact of the technique was evaluated with KNN and random forest (RF) classifiers. In the case of KNN, the performance of the classifier was improved from 55.9% to 63.59%.

The Impact

Inertial sensors are widely used in the field of human activity recognition (HAR), since this source of information is the most informative time series among non-visual datasets. HAR researchers are actively exploring other approaches and different sources of signals to improve the performance of HAR systems. In this study, we investigate the impact of combining bio-signals with a dataset acquired from inertial sensors on recognizing human daily activities. To achieve this aim, we used the PPG-DaLiA dataset consisting of 3D-accelerometer (3D-ACC), electrocardiogram (ECG), photoplethysmogram (PPG) signals acquired from 15 individuals while performing daily activities. We extracted hand-crafted time and frequency domain features, then, we applied a correlation-based feature selection approach to reduce the feature-set dimensionality. After introducing early fusion scenarios, we trained and tested random forest models with subject-dependent and subject-independent setups. Our results indicate that combining features extracted from the 3D-ACC signal with the ECG signal improves the classifier’s performance F1-scores by 2.72% and 3.00% (from 94.07% to 96.80%, and 83.16% to 86.17%) for subject-dependent and subject-independent approaches, respectively.

Human Activity Recognition and assisting user on the basis of his context is attracting researchers since decade Researchers are working in the area to increase the accuracy of detection by various means. The challenging issue is to determine the correct supervised classifier for the detection purpose. This paper intent to examine the methodology used to recognize HAR and the impact of classifiers practiced in training and Testing. We have also tried to identify the suitable supervised machine learning model for HAR. Data of 30 Users with 561 features belonging to accelerometer and gyroscope sensor of smartphone from UCI repository is used for evaluation purpose. Nine different supervised machine learning Models are trained and tested on the dataset. The result concludes that HAR is a process which depends upon the classifiers used. It also conclude that out of 9 different Machine learning models ANN performs well and after that SVM, kNN, Random Forest and Extra Tree are equally good models for the purpose of HAR with Accuracy and execution time as the performance evaluation metric.
