Description:
The analysis of daily living human behavior has proven to be of key importance to prevent unhealthy habits. The diversity of activities and the individuals’ particular execution style determine that several sources of information are normally required. One of the main issues is to optimally combine them to guarantee performance, scalability and robustness. In this paper we present a fusion classification methodology which takes into account the potential of the individual decisions yielded at both activity and sensor classification levels. Particularly tested on a wearable sensors based system, the method reinforces the idea that some parts of the body (i.e., sensors) may be specially informative for the recognition of each particular activity, thus supporting the ranking of the decisions provided by each associated sensor decision entity. Our method systematically outperforms the results obtained by traditional multiclass models which otherwise may require a high-dimensional feature space to acquire a similar performance. The comparison with other activity-recognition fusion approaches also demonstrates our model scales significantly better for small sensor networks.

Activity Recognition

• Fundamental part of medical/health assistant work, being applicable to other areas (sport efficiency, videogames industry, robotics, etc.)

• Changeableness due to the capability to discover and identify actions, movements and gestures than normally are unnoticed

• Objectives

Binary vs. multiclass classification

• # of classes discriminated

• Binary classifiers are more accurate in general than direct multiclass classifiers

• Problem: define an adequate multiclass extension scheme

• Depends on the particular experiment • No general models for multisource problems

Conclusions

• The hierarchical system defined only requires: ▫ Binary classifiers based on individual features with

high binary discriminant capability ▫ A few weighting parameters and simple decision rules

• According to the particular activity recognition model: ▫ HWC offers better results for both source and fusion

classification approaches Improvement up to 15% with respect to MV Similar good results when fusion for both 1 and 10

features are used Particular good results for the wrist or arm data based

source classifier (≈96%)

Future work

• Test non-linear subclassifiers combinations • Include a probability of membership to the

different classes besides the current weighted scheme

• Analyze other multiclass extensions and compare with HWC performance

• Spread the study to a larger number of activities (classes)

• Apply this methodology to other kind of problems
