Abstract
- In active and assisted living environments, a major service that can be provided is the automated assessment of elderly people’s well-being. Therefore, activity recognition is required to detect what types of help disabled persons need to support them in their daily life activities. Unfortunately, it is still a difficult task to estimate the size of the required window for online sensor data streams to recognize a specific activity, especially when new sensor events are recorded. This paper proposes a windowing algorithm, which presents promising results to recognize complex human activities for multi-resident homes. The approach is based on the analysis of the sensor data to identify the best fitting sensors that should be considered in a specified window. Moreover, the second part of this paper proposes a set of different statistical spatio-temporal features to recognize human activities. In order to check the overall performance, this approach is tested using the CASAS data set and artificially generated laboratory data using our HBMS simulator. The results show high performance based on different evaluation metrics compared to other approaches. We believe that the proposed windowing approach provides a good approximation of the required window size in order to robustly detect human activities in comparison to other windowing approaches.
