Human Activity Recognition
Easily identify 5 different activities with a 3D accelerometer.
Human Activity Recognition (HAR) is a time series classification task identifying the specific movement or action of a person based on sensor data. Movements can be activities performed indoors, such as walking, standing, sitting or outdoors such as driving, biking. The demo runs on a small form factor board Sensor Tile that comes along with a smartphone application connected through Bluetooth Low Energy.
Approach
- Exploits 3-axis accelerometer data
- 5 classes: stationary, walking, running, biking, driving
- Pre/Post-processing: filtering gravity, reference rotation, temporal filter
The main model is a ST Convolutional Neural Network model, but several other models are proposed within our function packs FP-AI-SENSING1 and FP-AI-MONITOR1, another CNN and a SVC model.
