Human Activity Recognition in Smart Home using Deep Learning Techniques

To understand the human activities and anticipate his intentions Human Activity Recognition(HAR) research is rapidly developing in tandem with the widespread availability of sensors. Various applications like elderly care and health monitoring systems in smart homes use smartphones and wearable devices. This paper proposes an effective HAR framework that uses deep learning methodology like Convolution Neural Networks(CNN), variations of LSTM(Long Short term Memory) and Gated Recurrent Units(GRU) Networks to recognize the activities based on smartphone sensors. The hybrid use of CNN-LSTM eliminates the handcrafted feature engineering and uses spatial and temporal data deep. The experiments are carried on UCI HAR and WISDM data sets, and the comparison results are obtained. The result shows a better 96.83 % and 98.00% for the UCI-HAR and WISDM datasets, respectively.
