Daily Life Activity Recognition with a Head Mounted IMU on Older Adults: Which Features to Extract?

As the population aged 65 and above increases, falls among these older adults emerge as a significant public health concern, leading to disabil- ities and economic burdens. Preventative strategies and personalized fall risk assessments are essential for mitigating fall risks. Human Activity Recognition in early fall risk detection by monitoring...

Football activity recognition: A deep learning approach to football activity recognition based on Inertial Measurement Units signals

been given to Human Activity Recognition (HAR) based on signals obtained by IMUs placed on different body parts. This thesis studies the usage of Deep Learning-based models to recognize different football activities in an accurate, robust, and fast manner. Several deep architectures were trained with data captured with IMU sensors placed on...

Continuous human activity recognition for arbitrary directions with distributed radars

Continuous Activities of Daily Living (ADL) recognition in an arbitrary movement direction using five distributed pulsed Ultra-Wideband (UWB) radars in a coordinated network is proposed. Classification approaches in unconstrained activity trajectories that render a more natural occurrence for Human Activity Recognition (HAR) are investigated....

Elderly Care: Using Deep Learning for Multi-Domain Activity Classification

Nowadays, health monitoring issues are increasing as the worldwide population is aging. In this paper, the radar modality is used to classify with radar signature automatically. The classic approach is to extract features from micro-Doppler signatures for classification. This data representation domain has its limitations for activities...

Sensor Data for Human Activity Recognition: Feature Representation and Benchmarking

The field of Human Activity Recognition (HAR) focuses on obtaining and analysing data captured from monitoring devices (e.g. sensors). There is a wide range of applications within the field; for instance, assisted living, security surveillance, and intelligent transportation. In HAR, the development of Activity Recognition models is dependent...

Human Activity Recognition using a Deep Learning Algorithm for Patient Monitoring

Physical activity and mobility are important indicators of the recovery process of patients in the general ward of the hospital. Currently, monitoring mobility of hospitalized patients relies largely on direct observation from the caregivers. Accelerometers have the potential to quantify physical activity of patients objectively and without...
