Human Behavior Recognition Based on Motion Data Analysis

Abstract

The development of sensor technologies and smart devices has made it possible to realize real-time data acquisition of human beings. Human behavior monitoring is the process of obtaining activity information with wearables and computer technology. In this paper, we design a data preprocessing method based on the data collected by a single three-axis accelerometer. We first use Butterworth filter as low-pass filtering to remove the noise. Then, we propose a KGA algorithm to remove abnormal data and smooth them at the same time. This method uses genetic algorithm to optimize the parameters of Kalman filter. After that, we use a threshold-based method to identify falls that are harmful to the elderly. The key point of this method is to distinguish falls from people’s daily activities. According to the characteristics of human falls, we extract eigenvalues that can effectively distinguish daily activities from falls. In addition, we use cross-validation to determine the threshold of the method. The results show that in the analysis of 11 kinds of human daily activities and 15 types of falls, our method can distinguish 15 types of falls. The recognition recall rate in our method reaches 99.1%.
