— In a smart healthcare system," Human Activity Recognition (HAR)" is considered as an efficient approach in pervasive computing from activity sensor readings. The "Ambient Assisted Living (AAL)" in the home or community helps the people to provide independent care and enhanced living quality. However, many AAL models are restricted to multiple factors that include both the computational cost and system complexity. Moreover, the HAR concept has more relevance because of its applications, such as content-based video search, sports play analysis, crowd behavior prediction systems, patient monitoring systems, and surveillance systems. This paper attempts to implement the HAR system using a popular deep learning algorithm, namely "Recurrent Neural Network (RNN)" with the activity data collected from smart activity sensors over time, and it is publicly available in the "UC Irvine Machine Learning Repository (UCI)". The proposed model involves three processes: (1) data collection, (b) optimal feature learning, and (c) activity recognition. The data gathered from the benchmark repository was initially subjected to optimal feature selection that helped to select the most significant features. The proposed optimal feature selection method is based on a new meta-heuristic algorithm called "Colliding Bodies Optimization (CBO)". An objective function derived from the recognition accuracy has been used for accomplishing the optimal feature selection. The proposed model on the concerned benchmark dataset outperformed the conventional models with enhanced performance.

Photoplethysmography (PPG) is a common and practical technique to detect human activity and other physiological parameters and is commonly implemented in wearable devices. However, the PPG signal is often severely corrupted by motion artifacts. The aim of this paper is to address the human activity recognition (HAR) task directly on the device, implementing a recurrent neural network (RNN) in a low cost, low power microcontroller, ensuring the required performance in terms of accuracy and low complexity. To reach this goal, (i) we first develop an RNN, which integrates PPG and tri-axial accelerometer data, where these data can be used to compensate motion artifacts in PPG in order to accurately detect human activity; (ii) then, we port the RNN to an embedded device, Cloud-JAM L4, based on an STM32 microcontroller, optimizing it to maintain an accuracy of over 95% while requiring modest computational power and memory resources. The experimental results show that such a system can be effectively implemented on a constrained-resource system, allowing the design of a fully autonomous wearable embedded system for human activity recognition and logging.

In today’s world individuals health concern has improved a lot with the help of advancement in the technology. To monitor an age old person or a person with disability, now-a-days modern wearable smartphone devices are available in the market which are equipped with good collection of built in sensors that can be used for Human Activity Recognition (HAR). These type of devices generate lot of data with many number of features. When this data is used for classification, the classifier may be over trained or will definitely give high error rate. Hence, in this paper, we propose a two hybrid frameworks which gives us optimal number of features that can be used with different classifiers to recognize the Human Activity accurately. It is observed from our experiments that SVM was able to classify the HAR accurately.

Convolution Structure

A novel multichannel dilated convolution neural network for improving the accuracy of human activity recognition is proposed. The proposed model utilizes the multichannel convolution structure with multiple kernels of various sizes to extract multiscale features of high-dimensional data of human activity during convolution operation and not to consider the use of the pooling layers that are used in the traditional convolution with dilated convolution. Its advantage is that the dilated convolution can first capture intrinsical sequence information by expanding the field of convolution kernel without increasing the parameter amount of the model. And then, the multichannel structure can be employed to extract multiscale gait features by forming multiple convolution paths. The open human activity recognition dataset is used to evaluate the effectiveness of our proposed model. The experimental results showed that our model achieves an accuracy of 95.49%, with the time to identify a single sample being approximately 0.34 ms on a low-end machine. These results demonstrate that our model is an efficient real-time HAR model, which can gain the representative features from sensor signals at low computation and is hopeful for the effective tool in practical applications.

Proposed Model

With accumulation of data and development of artificial intelligence, human activity recognition attracts lots of attention from researchers. Many classic machine learning algorithms, such as artificial neural network, feed forward neural network, K-nearest neighbors, and support vector machine, achieve good performance for detecting human activity. However, these algorithms have their own limitations and their prediction accuracy still has space to improve. In this study, we focus on K-nearest neighbors (KNN) and solve its limitations. Firstly, kernel method is employed in model KNN, which transforms the input features to be the high-dimensional features. The proposed model KNN with kernel (K-KNN) improves the accuracy of classification. Secondly, a novel reduced kernel method is proposed and used in model K-KNN, which is named as Reduced Kernel KNN (RK-KNN). It reduces the processing time and enhances the classification performance. Moreover, this study proposes an approach of defining number of K neighbors, which reduces the parameter dependency problem. Based on the experimental works, the proposed RK-KNN obtains the best performance in benchmarks and human activity datasets compared with other models. It has super classification ability in human activity recognition. The accuracy of human activity data is 91.60% for HAPT and 92.67% for Smartphone, respectively. Averagely, compared with the conventional KNN, the proposed model RK-KNN increases the accuracy by 1.82% and decreases standard deviation by 0.27. The small gap of processing time between KNN and RK-KNN in all datasets is only 1.26 seconds.
