Abstract
Human Activity Recognition is one of the attractive topics to develop smart interactive environment in which computing systems can understand human activities in natural context. Besides traditional approaches with visual data, inertial sensors in wearable devices provide a promising approach for human activity recognition. In this paper, we propose novel methods to recognize human activities from raw data captured from inertial sensors using convolutional neural networks with either 2D or 3D filters. We also take advantage of hand-crafted features to combine with learned features from Convolution-Pooling blocks to further improve accuracy for activity recognition. Experiments on UCI Human Activity Recognition dataset with six different activities demonstrate that our method can achieve 96.95%, higher than existing methods.
