摘要

Unobtrusive detection of human activity and analysis of activity trend is the most elementary but challenging part of Ambient Assisted Living (AAL). Usually, it requires multi-parameter monitoring round the clock demanding huge computational and storage requirements. Efficient algorithms to handle such data burden are of foremost importance for practical implementation of AAL. In general, technologies for assisted living identify dynamic human activity recognition (HAR) as the first step. In this work a novel method for HAR from a wrist worn tri-axial accelerometer data is proposed. The HAR is performed by an artificial neural network (ANN) classifier which is modeled using phase space reconstruction (PSR) based features extracted from the accelerometer data. Observing the chaotic nature of accelerometer data for different activities of daily living (ADLs) and during transition of activities, PSR is employed to represent raw data into image form. Significant information is extracted from these images by calculating quadrant wise black pixels density. These feature set is tested by a Bayesian Regulation back-propagation ANN model for activity classification that results in 96.4% accuracy with HMP dataset and 93% accuracy with USC-HAD dataset. This proves the applicability of the proposed feature extraction method for a resource efficient HAR model which uses only one tri-axial accelerometer irrespective of mounting position either on wrist or waist.
