Abstract With the rapid advancement of wearable devices, Human Activities Recognition (HAR) based on these devices has emerged as a prominent research field. The objective of this study is to enhance the recognition performance of HAR by proposing an LSTM-1DCNN recognition algorithm that utilizes a single triaxial accelerometer. This algorithm comprises two branches: one branch consists of a Long and Short-Term Memory Network (LSTM), while the other parallel branch incorporates a one-dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (1DCNN). The parallel architecture of LSTM-1DCNN initially extracts spatial and temporal features from the accelerometer data separately, which are then concatenated… More >

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 More >
