Intelligent system for human activity recognition in IoT environment

In recent years, the adoption of machine learning has grown steadily in different fields affecting the day-to-day decisions of individuals. This paper presents an intelligent system for recognizing human’s daily activities in a complex IoT environment. An enhanced model of capsule neural network called 1D-HARCapsNe is proposed. This proposed model consists of convolution layer, primary capsule layer, activity capsules flat layer and output layer. It is validated using WISDM dataset collected via smart devices and normalized using the random-SMOTE algorithm to handle the imbalanced behavior of the dataset. The experimental results indicate the potential and strengths of the proposed 1D-HARCapsNet that achieved enhanced performance with an accuracy of 98.67%, precision of 98.66%, recall of 98.67%, and F1-measure of 0.987 which shows major performance enhancement compared to the Conventional CapsNet (accuracy 90.11%, precision 91.88%, recall 89.94%, and F1-measure 0.93).
