Vision and Sensor-Based Human Activity Recognition
Md Atiqur Rahman Ahad
Abstract
Human action or activity or behavior analysis, recognition, and understanding are very important research areas in the field of computer vison, internet of things (IoT) sensor-based analysis, human-computer interaction (HCI), affective computing, intelligent system, healthcare facilities, and so on. There is much importance in human action recognition. This chapter introduces the core aspects of human action or activity recognition (HAR). These are split into two different domains: computer vision-based action/activity recognition, action localization, etc.; and wearable IoT sensor-based HAR. Though cameras are also sensors that provide vision-based information, the author puts camera-based or vision-based methods in another category. The chapter introduces core challenges and strategies to move forward.
