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… 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… More >

Abstract Human Activity Recognition (HAR) is an active research area due to its applications in pervasive computing, human-computer interaction, artificial intelligence, health care, and social sciences. Moreover, dynamic environments and anthropometric differences between individuals make it harder to recognize actions. This study focused on human activity in video sequences acquired with an RGB camera because of its vast range of real-world applications. It uses two-stream ConvNet to extract spatial and temporal information and proposes a fine-tuned deep neural network. Moreover, the transfer learning paradigm is adopted to extract varied and fixed frames while reusing object identification… More >

Abstract Human pose estimation (HPE) is a procedure for determining the structure of the body pose and it is considered a challenging issue in the computer vision (CV) communities. HPE finds its applications in several fields namely activity recognition and human-computer interface. Despite the benefits of HPE, it is still a challenging process due to the variations in visual appearances, lighting, occlusions, dimensionality, etc. To resolve these issues, this paper presents a squirrel search optimization with a deep convolutional neural network for HPE (SSDCNN-HPE) technique. The major intention of the SSDCNN-HPE technique is to identify the… More >
