Human activity recognition (HAR) works have mostly focused on the activities of adults. However, HAR is typically beneficial to the safety and wellness of newborn or infants because they have difficulties in verbal communication. The activities of infants are different from those of adults in terms of its types and intensity. Hence, it is necessary to study the behavior of infants separately. We study newborn and infant activity recognition by analyzing accelerometer data from the sensors attached to body. We aim to classify four types of activities: sleeping, moving in agony, moving in normal condition, and movement by external force. For this work, we collected 11 h videos and corresponding sensor data from 10 infant subjects. For recognition, we propose an end-to-end deep model using autoencoder and k-means clustering, which is trained in an unsupervised way. From a set of performance tests, our model can achieve 0.96 in balanced accuracy and F-1 score of 0.95.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
