RESUMEN
Human Activity Recognition (HAR) has recently attracted widespread attention, with the effective application of this technology helping people in areas such as healthcare, smart homes, and gait analysis. Deep learning methods have shown remarkable performance in HAR. A pivotal challenge is the trade-off between recognition accuracy and computational efficiency, especially in resource-constrained mobile devices. This challenge necessitates the development of models that enhance feature representation capabilities without imposing additional computational burdens. Addressing this, we introduce a novel HAR model leveraging deep learning, ingeniously designed to navigate the accuracy-efficiency trade-off. The model comprises two innovative modules: 1) Pyramid Multi-scale Convolutional Network (PMCN), which is designed with a symmetric structure and is capable of obtaining a rich receptive field at a finer level through its multiscale representation capability; 2) Cross-Attention Mechanism, which establishes interrelationships among sensor dimensions, temporal dimensions, and channel dimensions, and effectively enhances useful information while suppressing irrelevant data. The proposed model is rigorously evaluated across four diverse datasets: UCI, WISDM, PAMAP2, and OPPORTUNITY. Additional ablation and comparative studies are conducted to comprehensively assess the performance of the model. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model achieves superior activity recognition accuracy while maintaining low computational overhead.
