Human Activity Recognition (HAR) an important area of research in the light of enormous applications that it provides, such as health monitoring, sports, entertainment, efficient human computer interface, child care, education and many more. Use of Computer Vision for Human Activity Recognition has many limitations. The use of inertial sensors which include accelerometer and gyroscopic sensors for HAR is becoming the norm these days considering their benefits over traditional Computer Vision techniques. In this paper we have proposed a 1-dimensional Convolutions Neural Network which is inspired by two state-of-the art architectures proposed for image classifications; namely Inception Net and Dense Net. We have evaluated its performance on two different publicly available datasets for HAR. Precision, Recall, F1-measure and accuracies are reported.<br>

Human activity recognition is one of the most challenging and active areas of research in the computer vision domain. However, designing automatic systems that are robust to significant variability due to object combinations and the high complexity of human motions are more challenging. In this paper, we propose to model the inter-frame rigid evolution of skeleton parts as the trajectory in the Lie group SE(3)×…×SE(3). The motion of the object is similarly modeled as an additional trajectory in the same manifold. The classification is performed based on a rate-invariant comparison of the resulting trajectories mapped to a vector space, the Lie algebra. Experimental results on three action and activity datasets show that the proposed method outperforms various state-of-the-art human activity recognition approaches.

The ubiquity of smartphones and the growth of computing resources, such as connectivity, processing, portability, and power of sensing, have greatly changed people’s lives. Today, many smartphones contain a variety of powerful sensors, including motion, location, network, and direction sensors. Motion or inertial sensors (e.g., accelerometer), specifically, have been widely used to recognize users’ physical activities. This has opened doors for many different and interesting applications in several areas, such as health and transportation. In this perspective, this work provides a comprehensive, state of the art review of the current situation of human activity recognition (HAR) solutions in the context of inertial sensors in smartphones. This article begins by discussing the concepts of human activities along with the complete historical events, focused on smartphones, which shows the evolution of the area in the last two decades. Next, we present a detailed description of the HAR methodology, focusing on the presentation of the steps of HAR solutions in the context of inertial sensors. For each step, we cite the main references that use the best implementation practices suggested by the scientific community. Finally, we present the main results about HAR solutions from the perspective of the inertial sensors embedded in smartphones.

Human activity recognition aims to classify the user activity in various applications like healthcare, gesture recognition and indoor navigation. In the latter, smartphone location recognition is gaining more attention as it enhances indoor positioning accuracy. Commonly the smartphone’s inertial sensor readings are used as input to a machine learning algorithm which performs the classification. There are several approaches to tackle such a task: feature based approaches, one dimensional deep learning algorithms, and two dimensional deep learning architectures. When using deep learning approaches, feature engineering is redundant. In addition, while utilizing two-dimensional deep learning approaches enables to utilize methods from the well-established computer vision domain. In this paper, a framework for smartphone location and human activity recognition, based on the smartphone’s inertial sensors, is proposed. The contributions of this work are a novel time series encoding approach, from inertial signals to inertial images, and transfer learning from computer vision domain to the inertial sensors classification problem. Four different datasets are employed to show the benefits of using the proposed approach. In addition, as the proposed framework performs classification on inertial sensors readings, it can be applied for other classification tasks using inertial data. It can also be adopted to handle other types of sensory data collected for a classification task.
