Abstract

Human activity categorization using smartphone data can be useful for physicians in real-time data monitoring in sports or lifestyle monitoring. The goal of this research is to develop a methodology that can identify strong machine-learning classifiers applied to various human activity datasets. The first step is pre-processing the data, followed by feature extraction, selection, and classification. Relying on a single dataset does not yield high confidence in the findings. Instead, examining multiple datasets is crucial for a comprehensive understanding, as it avoids the pitfalls of basing conclusions on one dataset alone. Multiple datasets and classifiers are applied in different experiments to achieve improved and generalized human activity recognition performance. Experimental results of the support vector machine (SVM) with its generalized performance of 99% encourage us to use the trained SVM-based model to monitor normal human activities inside the home, in the park, in the gym, etc. enhancing wellness monitoring.
