Abstract The purpose of Human Activities Recognition (HAR) is to recognize human activities with sensors like accelerometers and gyroscopes. The normal research strategy is to obtain better HAR results by finding more efficient eigenvalues and classification algorithms. In this paper, we experimentally validate the HAR process and its various algorithms independently. On the base of which, it is further proposed that, in addition to the necessary eigenvalues and intelligent algorithms, correct prior knowledge is even more critical. The prior knowledge mentioned here mainly refers to the physical understanding of the analyzed object, the sampling process, the sampling data, the HAR algorithm,… More >

Abstract Internet of Things (IoT) devices incorporate a large amount of data in several fields, including those of medicine, business, and engineering. User authentication is paramount in the IoT era to assure connected devices’ security. However, traditional authentication methods and conventional biometrics-based authentication approaches such as face recognition, fingerprints, and password are vulnerable to various attacks, including smudge attacks, heat attacks, and shoulder surfing attacks. Behavioral biometrics is introduced by the powerful sensing capabilities of IoT devices such as smart wearables and smartphones, enabling continuous authentication. Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based approaches introduce a bright future in refining large amounts of homogeneous biometric… More >

Abstract The automated evaluation and analysis of employee behavior in an Industry 4.0-compliant manufacturing firm are vital for the rapid and accurate diagnosis of work performance, particularly during the training of a new worker. Various techniques for identifying and detecting worker performance in industrial applications are based on computer vision techniques. Despite widespread computer vision-based approaches, it is challenging to develop technologies that assist the automated monitoring of worker actions at external working sites where camera deployment is problematic. Through the use of wearable inertial sensors, we propose a deep learning method for automatically recognizing the activities of construction workers. The… More >
