Nowadays, advancements in depth imaging technologies have made human activity recognition (HAR) reliable without attaching optical markers or any other motion sensors to human body parts. This study presents a depth imaging-based HAR system to monitor and recognize human activities. In this work, we proposed spatiotemporal features approach to detect, track, and recognize human silhouettes using a sequence of RGB-D images. Under our proposed HAR framework, the required procedure includes detection of human depth silhouettes from the raw depth image sequence, removing background noise, and tracking of human silhouettes using frame differentiation constraints of human motion information. These depth silhouettes extract the spatiotemporal features based on depth sequential history, motion identification, optical flow, and joints information. Then, these features are processed by principal component analysis for dimension reduction and better feature representation. Finally, these optimal features are trained and they recognized activity using hidden Markov model. During experimental results, we demonstrate our proposed approach on three challenging depth videos datasets including IM-DailyDepthActivity, MSRAction3D, and MSRDailyActivity3D. All experimental results show the superiority of the proposed approach over the state-of-the-art methods.

Voting Rule

A recognition method of offline handwritten Chinese characters of amount in words is presented. The method uses elastic mesh strategy to divide character images written by special men into meshes, and extracts directional element and key point features in every mesh to produce a vector. Based on independent Hidden Markov Model classifiers, this paper uses voting rule to integrate the Hidden Markov Model classifiers. The experimental results show that this method has a relative high recognition rate.

Recognition of human activities is getting into the limelight among researchers in the field of pervasive computing, ambient intelligence, robotic, and monitoring such as assistive living, elderly care, and health care. Many platforms, models, and algorithms have been developed and implemented to recognize the human activities. However, existing approaches suffer from low-activity accuracy and high time complexity. Therefore, we proposed probabilistic log-Viterbi algorithm on second-order hidden Markov model that facilitates our algorithm by reducing the time complexity with increased accuracy. Second-order hidden Markov model is efficient relevance between previous two activities, current activity, and current observation that incorporate more information into recognition procedure. The log-Viterbi algorithm converts the products of a large number of probabilities into additions and finds the most likely activity from observation sequence under given model. Therefore, this approach maximizes the probability of activity recognition with improved accuracy and reduced time complexity. We compared our proposed algorithm among other famous probabilistic models such as Naïve Bayes, condition random field, hidden Markov model, and hidden semi-Markov model using three datasets in the smart home environment. The recognition possibility of our proposed method is significantly better in accuracy and time complexity than early proposed method. Moreover, this improved algorithm for activity recognition is much effective for almost all the dynamic environments such as assistive living, elderly care, healthcare applications, and home automation.

In this paper, we present our first Vietnamese speech synthesis system based on deep neural networks. To improve the training data collected from the Internet, a cleaning method is proposed. The experimental results indicate that by using deeper architectures we can achieve better performance for the TTS than using shallow architectures such as hidden Markov model. We also present the effect of using different amounts of data to train the TTS systems. In the VLSP TTS challenge 2018, our proposed DNN-based speech synthesis system won the first place in all three subjects including naturalness, intelligibility, and MOS.
