With the improvement of people's living standards, the demand for health monitoring and exercise detection is increasing. It is of great significance to study human activity recognition methods that are different from traditional feature extraction methods. This article uses convolutional neural network algorithms in deep learning to automatically extract features of activities related to human life. It uses a stochastic gradient descent algorithm to optimize the parameters of the convolutional neural network. The trained network model is compressed on STM32CubeMX-AI. Finally, this article introduces the use of neural networks on embedded devices to recognize six human activities of daily life, such as sitting, standing, walking, jogging, upstairs and downstairs. The acceleration sensor related to human activity information is used to obtain the relevant characteristics of the activity, thereby solving the human activity recognition (HAR) problem. The network structure of the constructed CNN model is shown in Figure 1, including an input layer, two convolutional layers and two pooling layers. After comparing the average accuracy of each set of experiments and the test set of the best model obtained from it, the best model is then selected.

Human activity recognition (HAR) is one of those research areas whose importance and popularity have notably increased in recent years. HAR can be seen as a general machine learning problem which requires feature extraction and feature selection. In previous articles different features were extracted from time, frequency and wavelet domains for HAR but it is not clear that, how to determine the best feature combination which maximizes the performance of a machine learning algorithm. The aim of this paper is to present the most relevant feature extraction methods in HAR and to compare them with widely-used filter and wrapper feature selection algorithms. This work is an extended version of [1]a where we tested the efficiency of filter and wrapper feature selection algorithms in combination with artificial neural networks. In this paper the efficiency of selected features has been investigated on more machine learning algorithms (feed-forward artificial neural network, k-nearest neighbor and decision tree) where an independent database was the data source. The result demonstrates that machine learning in combination with feature selection can overcome other classification approaches.
