The classification of human activity is becoming one of the most important areas of human health monitoring and physical fitness. With the use of physical activity recognition applications, people suffering from various diseases can be efficiently monitored and medical treatment can be administered in a timely fashion. These applications could improve remote services for health care monitoring and delivery. However, the fixed health monitoring devices provided in hospitals limits the subjects’ movement. In particular, our work reports on wearable sensors that provide remote monitoring that periodically checks human health through different postures and activities to give people timely and effective treatment. In this paper, we propose a novel human activity recognition (HAR) system with multiple combined features to monitor human physical movements from continuous sequences via tri-axial inertial sensors. The proposed HAR system filters 1D signals using a notch filter that examines the lower/upper cutoff frequencies to calculate the optimal wearable sensor data. Then, it calculates multiple combined features, i.e., statistical features, Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients, and Gaussian Mixture Model features. For the classification and recognition engine, a Decision Tree classifier optimized by the Binary Grey Wolf Optimization algorithm is proposed. The proposed system is applied and tested on three challenging benchmark datasets to assess the feasibility of the model. The experimental results show that our proposed system attained an exceptional level of performance compared to conventional solutions. We achieved accuracy rates of 88.25%, 93.95%, and 96.83% over MOTIONSENSE, MHEALTH, and the proposed self-annotated IM-AccGyro human-machine dataset, respectively.

Human behavior modeling (HBM) is a challenging classification task for researchers seeking to develop sustainable systems that precisely monitor and record human life-logs. In recent years, several models have been proposed; however, HBM remains an inspiring problem that is only partly solved. This paper proposes a novel framework of human behavior modeling based on wearable inertial sensors; the system framework is composed of data acquisition, feature extraction, optimization and classification stages. First, inertial data is filtered via three different filters, i.e., Chebyshev, Elliptic and Bessel filters. Next, six different features from time and frequency domains are extracted to determine the maximum optimal values. Then, the Probability Based Incremental Learning (PBIL) optimizer and the K-Ary tree hashing classifier are applied to model different human activities. The proposed model is evaluated on two benchmark datasets, namely DALIAC and PAMPA2, and one self-annotated dataset, namely, IM-LifeLog, respectively. For evaluation, we used a leave-one-out cross validation scheme. The experimental results show that our model outperformed existing state-of-the-art methods with accuracy rates of 94.23%, 94.07% and 96.40% over DALIAC, PAMPA2 and IM-LifeLog datasets, respectively. The proposed system can be used in healthcare, physical activity detection, surveillance systems and medical fitness fields.
