ABSTRACT
The global trend of population aging presents an urgent challenge in ensuring the safety and well-being of elderly individuals, especially those living alone due to various circumstances. A promising approach to this challenge involves leveraging Human Action Recognition (HAR) by integrating data from multiple sensors. However, the field of HAR has struggled to strike a balance between accuracy and response time. While technological advancements have improved recognition accuracy, complex algorithms often come at the expense of response time. To address this issue, we introduce an innovative asynchronous detection method called Rapid Response Elderly Safety Monitoring (RESAM), which relies on progressive hierarchical action recognition and multi-sensor data fusion. Through initial analysis of inertial sensor data using Kernel Principal Component Analysis (KPCA) and multi-class classifiers, we efficiently reduce processing time and lower the false-negative rate (FNR). The inertial sensor identification serves as a pre-filter, enabling the identification of filtered abnormal signals. Decision-level data fusion is then executed, incorporating skeleton image analysis based on ResNet and the inertial sensor data from the initial step. This integration enables the accurate differentiation between normal and abnormal behaviors. The RESAM method achieves an impressive 97.4% accuracy on the UTD-MHAD database with a minimal delay of 1.22 seconds. On our internally collected database, the RESAM system attains an accuracy of 99%, ranking among the most accurate state-of-the-art methods available. These results underscore the practicality and effectiveness of our approach in meeting the critical demand for swift and precise responses in healthcare scenarios.
