Abstract
- Wearable technology offers a prospective solution to the increasing demand for activity monitoring in pervasive healthcare. Feature extraction and selection are crucial steps in activity recognition since it determines the accuracy of activity classification. However, existing feature extraction and selection methods involve manual feature engineering, which is time-consuming, laborious and prone to error. Therefore, this paper proposes an unsupervised feature learning method that automatically extracts and selects the features without human intervention. Specifically, the proposed method jointly trains a convolutional denoising autoencoder with a convolutional neural network to learn the underlying features and produces a compact feature representation of the data. This allows not only more accurate and discriminative features to be extracted but also reduces the computational cost and improves generalization of the classification models. The proposed method was evaluated and compared with deep learning convolutional neural networks on a public dataset. Results have shown that the proposed method can learn a salient feature representation and subsequently recognize the activities with an accuracy of 0.934 and perform comparably well to the convolutional neural networks.
