This paper proposed a method combing YOLOv3 (You Only Look Once v3) and local optical flow method. Based on the dense optical flow method, the optical flow modulus of the area where the human target is detected is calculated to reduce the amount of computation and save the cost in terms of time. And then, a threshold value is set to complete the human behavior identification. Through design algorithm, experimental verification and other steps, the walking, running and falling state of human body in real life indoor sports video was identified. Experimental results show that this algorithm is more advantageous for jogging behavior recognition.展开更多

文摘WiFi-based human activity recognition(HAR)provides a non-intrusive approach for ubiquitous monitoring;however,achieving both high accuracy and robustness simultaneously remains a significant challenge.This paper proposes a Convolutional Neural Network with Enhanced Convolutional Block Attention Module(CNN-ECBAM)framework.The approach systematically converts raw Channel State Information(CSI)into pseudo-color images,effectively preserving essential signal characteristics for deep neural network processing.The core innovation is an Enhanced Convolutional Block Attention Module(ECBAM),tailored to CSI data characteristics,which integrates Efficient Channel Attention(ECA)and Multi-Scale Spatial Attention(MSSA).By employing learnable adaptive fusion weights,it achieves dynamic synergy between channel and spatial features,enabling the network to capture highly discriminative spatiotemporal patterns.The ECBAM module is integrated into a unified Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)to form the overall CNN-ECBAM model.Experimental results on the UT-HAR and NTU-Fi_HAR datasets demonstrate that CNN-ECBAM achieves competitive performance in recognition accuracy and outperforms mainstream baseline models.Specifically,it attains 99.20%accuracy on UT-HAR(surpassing ResNet-18 at 98.60%)and achieves 100%accuracy on NTU-Fi_HAR(exceeding GAF-CNN at 99.62%).These results validate the effectiveness of the proposed method for high-precision and reliable WiFi-based HAR.

文摘Human object detection and recognition is essential for elderly monitoring and assisted living however,models relying solely on pose or scene context often struggle in cluttered or visually ambiguous settings.To address this,we present SCENET-3D,a transformer-drivenmultimodal framework that unifies human-centric skeleton features with scene-object semantics for intelligent robotic vision through a three-stage pipeline.In the first stage,scene analysis,rich geometric and texture descriptors are extracted from RGB frames,including surface-normal histograms,angles between neighboring normals,Zernike moments,directional standard deviation,and Gabor-filter responses.In the second stage,scene-object analysis,non-human objects are segmented and represented using local feature descriptors and complementary surface-normal information.In the third stage,human-pose estimation,silhouettes are processed through an enhanced MoveNet to obtain 2D anatomical keypoints,which are fused with depth information and converted into RGB-based point clouds to construct pseudo-3D skeletons.Features from all three stages are fused and fed in a transformer encoder with multi-head attention to resolve visually similar activities.Experiments on UCLA(95.8%),ETRI-Activity3D(89.4%),andCAD-120(91.2%)demonstrate that combining pseudo-3D skeletonswith rich scene-object fusion significantly improves generalizable activity recognition,enabling safer elderly care,natural human–robot interaction,and robust context-aware robotic perception in real-world environments.

文摘The concept of Human Activity Recognition(HAR)is integral to applications based on Internet of Things(IoT)-enabled devices,particularly in healthcare,fitness tracking,and smart environments.The streams of data from wearable sensors are rich in information,yet their high dimensionality and variability pose a significant challenge to proper classification.To address this problem,this paper proposes hybrid architectures that integrate traditional machine learning models with a deep neural network(DNN)to deliver improved performance and enhanced capabilities for HAR tasks.Multi-sensor HAR data were used to systematically test several hybrid models,including:RF+DNN(Random Forest+Deep Neural Network),XGB+DNN(XGBoost+DNN),GB+DNN(Gradient Boosting+DNN),KNN+DNN(K-Nearest Neighbors+DNN),and DT+DNN(Decision Tree+DNN).The RF+DNN model was the most accurate,achieving a 97.03%score with excellent precision,recall,and F1-score.These findings demonstrate that hybrid machine learning and deep learning systems have a promising future in IoT-based HAR applications.The model provides a novel solution for developing smart and trustworthy monitoring systems that support real-time analytics,patient surveillance,and other IoT applications.

文摘Frequency-modulated continuous-wave radar enables the non-contact and privacy-preserving recognition of human behavior.However,the accuracy of behavior recognition is directly influenced by the spatial relationship between human posture and the radar.To address the issue of low accuracy in behavior recognition when the human body is not directly facing the radar,a method combining local outlier factor with Doppler information is proposed for the correction of multi-classifier recognition results.Initially,the information such as distance,velocity,and micro-Doppler spectrogram of the target is obtained using the fast Fourier transform and histogram of oriented gradients-support vector machine methods,followed by preliminary recognition.Subsequently,Platt scaling is employed to transform recognition results into confidence scores,and finally,the Doppler-local outlier factor method is utilized to calibrate the confidence scores,with the highest confidence classifier result considered as the recognition outcome.Experimental results demonstrate that this approach achieves an average recognition accuracy of 96.23%for comprehensive human behavior recognition in various orientations.
文摘In the process of human behavior recognition, the traditional dense optical flow method has too many pixels and too much overhead, which limits the running speed. This paper proposed a method combing YOLOv3 (You Only Look Once v3) and local optical flow method. Based on the dense optical flow method, the optical flow modulus of the area where the human target is detected is calculated to reduce the amount of computation and save the cost in terms of time. And then, a threshold value is set to complete the human behavior identification. Through design algorithm, experimental verification and other steps, the walking, running and falling state of human body in real life indoor sports video was identified. Experimental results show that this algorithm is more advantageous for jogging behavior recognition.

文摘The Internet of Things(IoT)and mobile technology have significantly transformed healthcare by enabling real-time monitoring and diagnosis of patients.Recognizing Medical-Related Human Activities(MRHA)is pivotal for healthcare systems,particularly for identifying actions critical to patient well-being.However,challenges such as high computational demands,low accuracy,and limited adaptability persist in Human Motion Recognition(HMR).While some studies have integrated HMR with IoT for real-time healthcare applications,limited research has focused on recognizing MRHA as essential for effective patient monitoring.This study proposes a novel HMR method tailored for MRHA detection,leveraging multi-stage deep learning techniques integrated with IoT.The approach employs EfficientNet to extract optimized spatial features from skeleton frame sequences using seven Mobile Inverted Bottleneck Convolutions(MBConv)blocks,followed by Convolutional Long Short Term Memory(ConvLSTM)to capture spatio-temporal patterns.A classification module with global average pooling,a fully connected layer,and a dropout layer generates the final predictions.The model is evaluated on the NTU RGB+D 120 and HMDB51 datasets,focusing on MRHA such as sneezing,falling,walking,sitting,etc.It achieves 94.85%accuracy for cross-subject evaluations and 96.45%for cross-view evaluations on NTU RGB+D 120,along with 89.22%accuracy on HMDB51.Additionally,the system integrates IoT capabilities using a Raspberry Pi and GSM module,delivering real-time alerts via Twilios SMS service to caregivers and patients.This scalable and efficient solution bridges the gap between HMR and IoT,advancing patient monitoring,improving healthcare outcomes,and reducing costs.

文摘Video action recognition(VAR)aims to analyze dynamic behaviors in videos and achieve semantic understanding.VAR faces challenges such as temporal dynamics,action-scene coupling,and the complexity of human interactions.Existing methods can be categorized into motion-level,event-level,and story-level ones based on spatiotemporal granularity.However,single-modal approaches struggle to capture complex behavioral semantics and human factors.Therefore,in recent years,vision-language models(VLMs)have been introduced into this field,providing new research perspectives for VAR.In this paper,we systematically review spatiotemporal hierarchical methods in VAR and explore how the introduction of large models has advanced the field.Additionally,we propose the concept of“Factor”to identify and integrate key information from both visual and textual modalities,enhancing multimodal alignment.We also summarize various multimodal alignment methods and provide in-depth analysis and insights into future research directions.
文摘A common but flawed design in existing CNN architectures is using strided convolutions and/or pooling layer,which will result in the loss of fine-grained feature information,especially for low-resolution images and small objects.In this paper,a new CNN building block named SPD-Conv was used,which completely eliminated stride and pooling operations and replaced them with a space-to-depth convolution and a non-strided convolution.Such new design has the advantage of downsampling feature maps while retaining discriminant feature information.It also represents a general unified method,which can be easily applied to any CNN architectures,and can also be applied to strided conversion and pooling in the same way.

文摘The aerial deployment method enables Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAVs)to be directly positioned at the required altitude for their mission.This method typically employs folding technology to improve loading efficiency,with applications such as the gravity-only aerial deployment of high-aspect-ratio solar-powered UAVs,and aerial takeoff of fixed-wing drones in Mars research.However,the significant morphological changes during deployment are accompanied by strong nonlinear dynamic aerodynamic forces,which result in multiple degrees of freedom and an unstable character.This hinders the description and analysis of unknown dynamic behaviors,further leading to difficulties in the design of deployment strategies and flight control.To address this issue,this paper proposes an analysis method for dynamic behaviors during aerial deployment based on the Variational Autoencoder(VAE).Focusing on the gravity-only deployment problem of highaspect-ratio foldable-wing UAVs,the method encodes the multi-degree-of-freedom unstable motion signals into a low-dimensional feature space through a data-driven approach.By clustering in the feature space,this paper identifies and studies several dynamic behaviors during aerial deployment.The research presented in this paper offers a new method and perspective for feature extraction and analysis of complex and difficult-to-describe extreme flight dynamics,guiding the research on aerial deployment drones design and control strategies.

文摘Activity recognition is a challenging topic in the field of computer vision that has various applications,including surveillance systems,industrial automation,and human-computer interaction.Today,the demand for automation has greatly increased across industries worldwide.Real-time detection requires edge devices with limited computational time.This study proposes a novel hybrid deep learning system for human activity recognition(HAR),aiming to enhance the recognition accuracy and reduce the computational time.The proposed system combines a pretrained image classification model with a sequence analysis model.First,the dataset was divided into a training set(70%),validation set(10%),and test set(20%).Second,all the videos were converted into frames and deep-based features were extracted from each frame using convolutional neural networks(CNNs)with a vision transformer.Following that,bidirectional long short-term memory(BiLSTM)-and temporal convolutional network(TCN)-based models were trained using the training set,and their performances were evaluated using the validation set and test set.Four benchmark datasets(UCF11,UCF50,UCF101,and JHMDB)were used to evaluate the performance of the proposed HAR-based system.The experimental results showed that the combination of ConvNeXt and the TCN-based model achieved a recognition accuracy of 97.73%for UCF11,98.81%for UCF50,98.46%for UCF101,and 83.38%for JHMDB,respectively.This represents improvements in the recognition accuracy of 4%,2.67%,3.67%,and 7.08%for the UCF11,UCF50,UCF101,and JHMDB datasets,respectively,over existing models.Moreover,the proposed HAR-based system obtained superior recognition accuracy,shorter computational times,and minimal memory usage compared to the existing models.

文摘Real-time surveillance is attributed to recognizing the variety of actions performed by humans.Human Action Recognition(HAR)is a technique that recognizes human actions from a video stream.A range of variations in human actions makes it difficult to recognize with considerable accuracy.This paper presents a novel deep neural network architecture called Attention RB-Net for HAR using video frames.The input is provided to the model in the form of video frames.The proposed deep architecture is based on the unique structuring of residual blocks with several filter sizes.Features are extracted from each frame via several operations with specific parameters defined in the presented novel Attention-based Residual Bottleneck(Attention-RB)DCNN architecture.A fully connected layer receives an attention-based features matrix,and final classification is performed.Several hyperparameters of the proposed model are initialized using Bayesian Optimization(BO)and later utilized in the trained model for testing.In testing,features are extracted from the self-attention layer and passed to neural network classifiers for the final action classification.Two highly cited datasets,HMDB51 and UCF101,were used to validate the proposed architecture and obtained an average accuracy of 87.70%and 97.30%,respectively.The deep convolutional neural network(DCNN)architecture is compared with state-of-the-art(SOTA)methods,including pre-trained models,inside blocks,and recently published techniques,and performs better.

文摘Human activity recognition is a significant area of research in artificial intelligence for surveillance,healthcare,sports,and human-computer interaction applications.The article benchmarks the performance of You Only Look Once version 11-based(YOLOv11-based)architecture for multi-class human activity recognition.The article benchmarks the performance of You Only Look Once version 11-based(YOLOv11-based)architecture for multi-class human activity recognition.The dataset consists of 14,186 images across 19 activity classes,from dynamic activities such as running and swimming to static activities such as sitting and sleeping.Preprocessing included resizing all images to 512512 pixels,annotating them in YOLO’s bounding box format,and applying data augmentation methods such as flipping,rotation,and cropping to enhance model generalization.The proposed model was trained for 100 epochs with adaptive learning rate methods and hyperparameter optimization for performance improvement,with a mAP@0.5 of 74.93%and a mAP@0.5-0.95 of 64.11%,outperforming previous versions of YOLO(v10,v9,and v8)and general-purpose architectures like ResNet50 and EfficientNet.It exhibited improved precision and recall for all activity classes with high precision values of 0.76 for running,0.79 for swimming,0.80 for sitting,and 0.81 for sleeping,and was tested for real-time deployment with an inference time of 8.9 ms per image,being computationally light.Proposed YOLOv11’s improvements are attributed to architectural advancements like a more complex feature extraction process,better attention modules,and an anchor-free detection mechanism.While YOLOv10 was extremely stable in static activity recognition,YOLOv9 performed well in dynamic environments but suffered from overfitting,and YOLOv8,while being a decent baseline,failed to differentiate between overlapping static activities.The experimental results determine proposed YOLOv11 to be the most appropriate model,providing an ideal balance between accuracy,computational efficiency,and robustness for real-world deployment.Nevertheless,there exist certain issues to be addressed,particularly in discriminating against visually similar activities and the use of publicly available datasets.Future research will entail the inclusion of 3D data and multimodal sensor inputs,such as depth and motion information,for enhancing recognition accuracy and generalizability to challenging real-world environments.

文摘The understanding of the impact of high-velocity microparticles on human skin tissue is important for the ad-ministration of drugs during transdermal drug delivery.This paper aims to numerically investigate the dynamic behavior of human skin tissue under micro-particle impact in transdermal drug delivery.The numerical model was developed based on a coupled smoothed particle hydrodynamics(SPH)and FEM method via commercial FE software RADIOSS.Analytical analysis was conducted applying the Poncelet model and was used as validation data.A hyperelastic one-term Ogden model with one pair of material parameters(μ,α)was implemented for the skin tissue.Sensitivity studies reveal that the effect of parameter α on the penetration process is much more significant than μ.Numerical results correlate well with the analytical curves with various particle diameters and impact velocities,its capability of predicting the penetration process of micro-particle impacts into skin tissues.This work can be further investigated to guide the design of transdermal drug delivery equipment.
