Deep Learning Approaches for HAR of Daily Living Activities Using IMU Sensors in Smart Glasses

In the latest days, study into the development of intelligent technologies has proven valuable, contributing to attempts to improve the quality of human existence. Smart glass is one of the intelligent wearable devices that can be used for various purposes, including healthcare monitoring, fall detection, sleep tracking, and human activity recognition (HAR). Smart-phones and smartwatches are the primary wearables utilized in sensor-based HAR to collect human motions for training recognition models based on physical movement. These wearable tools, nevertheless, are more intrusive than smart glasses. Using IMU sensor data acquired via smart glasses, we investigate deep learning algorithms for detecting people's activities of daily living (ADL). This work proposes a hybrid deep neural network that automatically extracts spatial-temporal information from raw data to enhance identification $\mathbf{p}$ erformance. We performed tests to evaluate deep learning models using a publically available benchmark dataset, UCA-EHAR, which included IMU sensor data from multiple ADL from smart eyewear. The recommended CNN-LSTM model achieved the best effectiveness with the highest F1-score of 93.20%, as determined by experimental findings.
