Efficient duration and hierarchical modeling for human activity recognition

Abstract: A challenge in building pervasive and smart spaces is to learn and recognize human activities of daily living (ADLs). In this paper, we address this problem and argue that in dealing with ADLs, it is beneficial to exploit both their typical duration patterns and inherent hierarchical structures. We exploit efficient duration modeling using the novel Coxian distribution to form the Coxian hidden semi-Markov model (CxHSMM) and apply it to the problem of learning and recognizing ADLs with complex temporal depende… Show more

“…This allows CALO both to identify the most likely step and to identify the most likely parameter values for this step. The algorithm is described further by Duong et al 21 ; it has been extended to handle multiple interleaved concurrent workflows. The state information from the Workflow Tracker is provided to the Execution Monitor ( Figure 1) and exploited by the assistance patterns to generate situationally relevant Candidate Goals, both task focused (i.e., relating to the task that Workflow Tracker identifies the user is working on) and utility focused (e.g., relating to overall workload).…”

“…Within the PROSAFE project, the ERGDOM system controls the comfort of the person inside the flat (i.e., temperature, light...). Regarding the activity detection, although most of the many researches related to health smart homes is focused on sensors, network and data sharing (Chan et al, 2008), a fair number of laboratories started to work on reliable Activities of Daily Living (ADL) detection and classification using Bayesian (Dalal et al, 2005), rule-based (Duong et al, 2009;Moore & Essa, 2002), evidential fusion (Hong et al, 2008), Markovian (Albinali et al, 2007;Kröse et al, 2008), Support Vector Machine (Fleury, 2008), or ensemble of classifiers (Albinali et al, 2007) approaches. For instance, (Kröse et al, 2008) learned models to recognize two activities: 'going to the toilets' and 'exit from the flat'.…”

“…One of the first steps to achieve these goals is to detect the daily activities and to assess the evolution of the monitored person's autonomy. Therefore, activity recognition is an active research area (Albinali et al, 2007;Dalal et al, 2005;Duchêne et al, 2007;Duong et al, 2009;Fleury, 2008;Moore & Essa, 2002) but, despite this, it has still not reached a satisfactory performance nor led to a standard methodology. One reason is the high number of flat configurations and available sensors (e.g., infra-red sensors, contact doors, video cameras, RFID tags, etc.)…”

“…Activity recognition is an active research area [1,[4][5][6]8]; however, despite this, it has not yet reached a satisfactory performance or resulted in a standard method [26]. Among the objectives of this area is the recognition of distress situations among the elderly or disabled persons in their habitats, for the purpose of their surveillance.…”
