Human Action Recognition Using CNN-SVM Model

Abstract

In this paper, a pre-trained CNN model VGG16 with the SVM classifier is presented for the HAR task. The deep features are learned via the VGG16 pre-trained CNN model. The VGG 16 network is previously used for the image classification task. We used VGG16 for the signal classification of human activity, which is recorded by the accelerometer sensor of the mobile phone. The UniMiB dataset contains the 11771 samples of the daily life activity of humans. A Smartphone records these samples through the accelerometer sensor. The features are learned via the fifth max-pooling layer of the VGG16 CNN model and feed to the SVM classifier. The SVM classifier replaced the fully connected layer of the VGG16 model. The proposed VGG16-SVM model achieves effective and efficient results. The proposed method of VGG16-SVM is compared with the previously used schemes. The classification accuracy and F-Score are the evaluation parameters, and the proposed method provided 79.55% accuracy and 71.63% F-Score.
