Abstract Elderly or disabled people can be supported by a human activity recognition (HAR) system that monitors their activity intervenes and patterns in case of changes in their behaviors or critical events have occurred. An automated HAR could assist these persons to have a more independent life. Providing appropriate and accurate data regarding the activity is the most crucial computation task in the activity recognition system. With the fast development of neural networks, computing, and machine learning algorithms, HAR system based on wearable sensors has gained popularity in several areas, such as medical services, smart homes, improving human communication with computers,… More >

Abstract The human motion data collected using wearables like smartwatches can be used for activity recognition and emergency event detection. This is especially applicable in the case of elderly or disabled people who live self-reliantly in their homes. These sensors produce a huge volume of physical activity data that necessitates real-time recognition, especially during emergencies. Falling is one of the most important problems confronted by older people and people with movement disabilities. Numerous previous techniques were introduced and a few used webcam to monitor the activity of elderly or disabled people. But, the costs incurred upon installation and operation are high,… More >

Abstract Sign language recognition can be treated as one of the efficient solutions for disabled people to communicate with others. It helps them to convey the required data by the use of sign language with no issues. The latest developments in computer vision and image processing techniques can be accurately utilized for the sign recognition process by disabled people. American Sign Language (ASL) detection was challenging because of the enhancing intraclass similarity and higher complexity. This article develops a new Bayesian Optimization with Deep Learning-Driven Hand Gesture Recognition Based Sign Language Communication (BODL-HGRSLC) for Disabled People. The BODL-HGRSLC technique aims to… More >

Abstract Falls are the most common concern among older adults or disabled people who use scooters and wheelchairs. The early detection of disabled persons’ falls is required to increase the living rate of an individual or provide support to them whenever required. In recent times, the arrival of the Internet of Things (IoT), smartphones, Artificial Intelligence (AI), wearables and so on make it easy to design fall detection mechanisms for smart homecare. The current study develops an Automated Disabled People Fall Detection using Cuckoo Search Optimization with Mobile Networks (ADPFD-CSOMN) model. The proposed model’s major aim is to detect and distinguish… More >

Abstract Assistive devices for disabled people with the help of Brain-Computer Interaction (BCI) technology are becoming vital bio-medical engineering. People with physical disabilities need some assistive devices to perform their daily tasks. In these devices, higher latency factors need to be addressed appropriately. Therefore, the main goal of this research is to implement a real-time BCI architecture with minimum latency for command actuation. The proposed architecture is capable to communicate between different modules of the system by adopting an automotive, intelligent data processing and classification approach. Neuro-sky mind wave device has been used to transfer the data to our implemented server… More >

Abstract Sign language is mainly utilized in communication with people who have hearing disabilities. Sign language is used to communicate with people having developmental impairments who have some or no interaction skills. The interaction via Sign language becomes a fruitful means of communication for hearing and speech impaired persons. A Hand gesture recognition system finds helpful for deaf and dumb people by making use of human computer interface (HCI) and convolutional neural networks (CNN) for identifying the static indications of Indian Sign Language (ISL). This study introduces a shark smell optimization with deep learning based automated sign language recognition (SSODL-ASLR) model… More >

Abstract Sign language recognition can be considered as an effective solution for disabled people to communicate with others. It helps them in conveying the intended information using sign languages without any challenges. Recent advancements in computer vision and image processing techniques can be leveraged to detect and classify the signs used by disabled people in an effective manner. Metaheuristic optimization algorithms can be designed in a manner such that it fine tunes the hyper parameters, used in Deep Learning (DL) models as the latter considerably impacts the classification results. With this motivation, the current study designs the Optimal Deep Transfer Learning… More >

Abstract A cerebral vascular accident, known as common language stroke, is one of the main causes of mortality and remains the primary cause of acquired disabilities in adults. Those disabled people spend most of their time at home in their living rooms. In most cases, appliances of a living room (TV, light, cooler/heater, window blinds, etc.) are generally controlled by direct manipulation of a set of remote controls. Handling many remote controls can be disturbing and inappropriate for these people. In addition, in many cases these people could be alone at home and must open the door for visitors after their… More >
