Abstract Human Activity Recognition (HAR) has always been a difficult task to tackle. It is mainly used in security surveillance, human-computer interaction, and health care as an assistive or diagnostic technology in combination with other technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT). Human Activity Recognition data can be recorded with the help of sensors, images, or smartphones. Recognizing daily routine-based human activities such as walking, standing, sitting, etc., could be a difficult statistical task to classify into categories and hence 2-dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (2D CNN) MODEL, Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) Model, Bidirectional long… More >

Abstract Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is a sub-area within computer science focused on the study of the communication between people (users) and computers and the evaluation, implementation, and design of user interfaces for computer systems. HCI has accomplished effective incorporation of the human factors and software engineering of computing systems through the methods and concepts of cognitive science. Usability is an aspect of HCI dedicated to guaranteeing that human–computer communication is, amongst other things, efficient, effective, and sustaining for the user. Simultaneously, Human activity recognition (HAR) aim is to identify actions from a sequence of observations on… More >

Abstract Human Action Recognition (HAR) and pose estimation from videos have gained significant attention among research communities due to its application in several areas namely intelligent surveillance, human robot interaction, robot vision, etc. Though considerable improvements have been made in recent days, design of an effective and accurate action recognition model is yet a difficult process owing to the existence of different obstacles such as variations in camera angle, occlusion, background, movement speed, and so on. From the literature, it is observed that hard to deal with the temporal dimension in the action recognition process. Convolutional… More >

Abstract Human Activity Recognition (HAR) has been made simple in recent years, thanks to recent advancements made in Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques. These techniques are applied in several areas like security, surveillance, healthcare, human-robot interaction, and entertainment. Since wearable sensor-based HAR system includes in-built sensors, human activities can be categorized based on sensor values. Further, it can also be employed in other applications such as gait diagnosis, observation of children/adult’s cognitive nature, stroke-patient hospital direction, Epilepsy and Parkinson’s disease examination, etc. Recently-developed Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques, especially Deep Learning (DL) models can be deployed to accomplish… More >

Abstract Smoking is a major cause of cancer, heart disease and other afflictions that lead to early mortality. An effective smoking classification mechanism that provides insights into individual smoking habits would assist in implementing addiction treatment initiatives. Smoking activities often accompany other activities such as drinking or eating. Consequently, smoking activity recognition can be a challenging topic in human activity recognition (HAR). A deep learning framework for smoking activity recognition (SAR) employing smartwatch sensors was proposed together with a deep residual network combined with squeeze-and-excitation modules (ResNetSE) to increase the effectiveness of the SAR framework.

Abstract Numerous learning-based techniques for effective human activity recognition (HAR) have recently been developed. Wearable inertial sensors are critical for HAR studies to characterize sport-related activities. Smart wearables are now ubiquitous and can benefit people of all ages. HAR investigations typically involve sensor-based evaluation. Sport-related activities are unpredictable and have historically been classified as complex, with conventional machine learning (ML) algorithms applied to resolve HAR issues. The efficiency of machine learning techniques in categorizing data is limited by the human-crafted feature extraction procedure. A deep learning model named MBiGRU (multimodal bidirectional gated recurrent unit) neural network More >

Abstract The physical and the mental health of a human being largely depends upon his physical life-routine (PLR) and today’s much advanced technological methods make it possible to recognize and keep track of an individual’s PLR. With the successful and accurate recognition of PLR, a sublime service of health education can be made copious. In this regard, smartphones can play a vital role as they are ubiquitous and have utilitarian sensors embedded in them. In this paper, we propose a framework that extracts the features from the smartphone sensors data and then uses the sequential feature… More >

Abstract Nowadays, activities of daily living (ADL) recognition system has been considered an important field of computer vision. Wearable and optical sensors are widely used to assess the daily living activities in healthy people and people with certain disorders. Although conventional ADL utilizes RGB optical sensors but an RGB-D camera with features of identifying depth (distance information) and visual cues has greatly enhanced the performance of activity recognition. In this paper, an RGB-D-based ADL recognition system has been presented. Initially, human silhouette has been extracted from the noisy background of RGB and depth images to track More >

Abstract Human activity recognition (HAR) can play a vital role in the monitoring of human activities, particularly for healthcare conscious individuals. The accuracy of HAR systems is completely reliant on the extraction of prominent features. Existing methods find it very challenging to extract optimal features due to the dynamic nature of activities, thereby reducing recognition performance. In this paper, we propose a robust feature extraction method for HAR systems based on template matching. Essentially, in this method, we want to associate a template of an activity frame or sub-frame comprising the corresponding silhouette. In this regard,… More >

Abstract Nowadays, the most challenging and important problem of computer vision is to detect human activities and recognize the same with temporal information from video data. The video datasets are generated using cameras available in various devices that can be in a static or dynamic position and are referred to as untrimmed videos. Smarter monitoring is a historical necessity in which commonly occurring, regular, and out-of-the-ordinary activities can be automatically identified using intelligence systems and computer vision technology. In a long video, human activity may be present anywhere in the video. There can be a single… More >
