Abstract

This work deals with the task of human daily activity recognition using miniature inertial sensors. The proposed method is based on the development of a hierarchical dynamic model, incorporating both inter-activity and intra-activity dynamics, thereby exploiting the inherently dynamic nature of the problem to aid the classification task. The method uses raw acceleration and angular velocity signals, directly recorded by inertial sensors, bypassing commonly used feature extraction and selection techniques and, thus, keeping all information regarding the dynamics of the signals. Classification results show a competitive performance compared to state-of-the-art methods.
