Identification of human physical activities is an active research area since long due to its application in personalized health and fitness monitoring. The performance accuracy of human activity recognition (HAR) models mainly depend on the features which are extracted from domain knowledge. The features are the input of the classification algorithm to efficiently identify human physical activities. Manually extracted features (handcrafted) need expert domain knowledge. Thus these features have significant importance to identify different human activities. Recently deep learning methods are utilized to extract the features automatically from raw sensory data for HAR models. However, state-of-the-art HAR literature established that the importance of handcrafted features can’t be ignored as it is extracted from expert domain knowledge. Thus, in this paper we use the fusion of both the handcrafted features and automatically extracted features using deep learning (DL) for HAR model to enhance the performance of HAR. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that our proposed feature fusion based HAR model gives higher accuracy compared with state-of-the-art HAR literature for both the self collected and public dataset.

Abstract

Identification of human physical activities is an active research area since long due to its application in personalized health and fitness monitoring. The performance accuracy of human activity recognition (HAR) models mainly depend on the features which are extracted from domain knowledge. The features are the input of the classification algorithm to efficiently identify human physical activities. Manually extracted features (handcrafted) need expert domain knowledge. Thus these features have significant importance to identify different human activities. Recently deep learning methods are utilized to extract the features automatically from raw sensory data for HAR models. However, state-of-the-art HAR literature established that the importance of handcrafted features can’t be ignored as it is extracted from expert domain knowledge. Thus, in this paper we use the fusion of both the handcrafted features and automatically extracted features using deep learning (DL) for HAR model to enhance the performance of HAR. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that our proposed feature fusion based HAR model gives higher accuracy compared with state-of-the-art HAR literature for both the self collected and public dataset.
