Abstract

The population of elderly is growing and is projected to outnumber the youth in the future. Many researches on elderly assisted living technology were carried out. One of the focus areas is activity monitoring of the elderly. AReM dataset is a time series activity recognition dataset for seven different types of activities, which are bending 1, bending 2, cycling, lying, sitting, standing and walking. In the original paper, the author used a many-to-many Recurrent Neural Network for activity recognition. Here, we introduced a time series classification method where Gated Recurrent Units with many-to-one architecture were used for activity classification. The experimental results obtained showed an excellent accuracy of 97.14%.

Abstract

The number of older people is increasing in many countries. By 2030, it is estimated that 15% of the overall population will be comprised of people aged 65 and above. Hence, the monitoring and tracking of elder activities to ensure they live an active life has become a major research topic in recent years. In this work, an elderly sub-activity tracking system is developed to detect the sub-activity of the elderly based on their physical activities and indoor location. The physical activities tracking system and indoor location system is combined in this project to enhance the context of the elderly activities (i.e. sub-activities as defined in this project). An indoor location system is developed by using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacon and BLE scanners to measure the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) signal to detect the location of the elderly. The activity tracking is carried out via a waist wearable device worn by the elderly. Random forest and Support Vector Machine (SVM) are used as machine learning classifiers to predict the activity and indoor location with an accuracy of 95.03% and 86.58%, respectively. The data from activity tracking and indoor location sub-systems will then be combined to derive the sub-activity and push to an online Internet of Things (IoT) platform for remote monitoring and notification.

Abstract

The world population of the elderly is expected to have a continuous growth and the number of elderly living in solitude is also expected to increase in the coming years. As our health decline with age, early detection of possible deterioration in health becomes important. Behavioral changes in in-home activities can be used as an indicator of health decline. For example, changes in routine of in-home activities. Past research mainly focused on detecting anomalies in routine of each type of in-home activities individually. In this paper, an anomaly detection model to detect changes in routine of in-home activities collectively for a day is proposed. The experiment was evaluated with an existing public dataset. The experimental results demonstrated that the anomaly detection model performed well on unseen testing data with an accuracy of 94.44%.

Abstract

In this paper, a self-attention based neural network architecture to address human activity recognition is proposed. The dataset used was collected using smartphone. The contribution of this paper is using a multi-layer multi-head self-attention neural network architecture for human activity recognition and compared to two strong baseline architectures, which are convolutional neural network (CNN) and long-short term network (LSTM). The dropout rate, positional encoding and scaling factor are also been investigated to find the best model. The results show that proposed model achieves a test accuracy of 91.75%, which is a comparable result when compared to both the baseline models.

Abstract

Numerous research works have been put forward over the years to advance the field of facial expression recognition which until today, is still considered a challenging task. The selection of image color space and the use of facial alignment as preprocessing steps may collectively pose a significant impact on the accuracy and computational cost of facial emotion recognition, which is crucial to optimize the speed-accuracy trade-off. This paper proposed a deep learning-based facial emotion recognition pipeline that can be used to predict the emotion of detected face regions in video sequences. Five well-known state-of-the-art convolutional neural network architectures are used for training the emotion classifier to identify the network architecture which gives the best speed-accuracy trade-off. Two distinct facial emotion training datasets are prepared to investigate the effect of image color space and facial alignment on the performance of facial emotion recognition. Experimental results show that training a facial expression recognition model with grayscale-aligned facial images is preferable as it offers better recognition rates with lower detection latency. The lightweight MobileNet_v1 is identified as the best-performing model with WM=0.75 and RM=160 as its hyper-parameters, achieving an overall accuracy of 86.42% on the testing video dataset.
