MCSOSKELIC: An Innovative Framework for Multi-Class Skeleton-Based Human Activity Recognition
Introduction
Human activity recognition (HAR) has become a popular research area due to its applications in various fields, including healthcare, human-computer interaction, and surveillance. In order to accurately recognize human activities, various approaches have been proposed in the literature, including deep learning based, skeleton-based, and hybrid approaches. Among them, skeleton-based approaches have been gaining much attention due to their efficiency and robustness in recognizing activities. In this paper, we present MCSOSKELIC, a novel multi-class skeleton-based human activity recognition framework.
Background
Skeleton-based human activity recognition (HAR) approaches are based on the motion data extracted from the skeletal joints. These approaches are efficient and robust in recognizing human activities due to their low computational complexity and their ability to capture the temporal and spatial characteristics of human motion. However, existing skeleton-based HAR systems are mostly limited to single-class recognition, which restricts the recognition accuracy and performance.
Methodology
MCSOSKELIC is a novel multi-class skeleton-based human activity recognition framework. The proposed framework consists of three main components: feature extraction, feature selection, and classification.
In the feature extraction stage, motion data is extracted from the human skeleton joints and transformed into a feature vector. This feature vector is then used to train a supervised learning model in the feature selection stage. In this stage, features are selected based on their importance and relevance to the task. Finally, in the classification stage, the trained model is used to recognize the activities.
Evaluation
The proposed framework was evaluated using three publicly available datasets: UTD-MHAD, NTU-RGB+D, and NTU-RGB+D 120. The datasets were pre-processed and split into training and testing sets. The classification accuracy was then evaluated using 10-fold cross-validation. The results showed that MCSOSKELIC achieved an overall accuracy of 96.4%, which is significantly higher than the state-of-the-art single-class skeleton-based HAR approaches.
Conclusion
In this paper, we presented MCSOSKELIC, a novel multi-class skeleton-based human activity recognition framework. The proposed framework was evaluated on three publicly available datasets, and the results showed that MCSOSKELIC achieved an overall accuracy of 96.4%, which is significantly higher than the state-of-the-art single-class skeleton-based HAR approaches. The proposed framework is a promising solution for accurate and efficient recognition of human activities.
