Abstract

Human Activity Recognition (HAR) using sensors offers a wide range of applications in healthcare, smart homes for the elderly, sports, and other fields. There have been numerous attempts in existing methods to distinguish diverse human actions using sensor data but all those studies are based on clean data patterns. As a result, investigation of detecting activity based on sensor values even if some data is lost in a random pattern. In this paper, the authors present a strategy for improving activity detection. A random pattern (Missing at random) for missing data since it is a realistic problem for sensor-based activities. First, recognize the activity using the clean dataset (HAR) and then generate different percentages of missing data in test and train datasets. At the time of classification of various activities, if a classifier is learned with missing data, it reinforces the model to regulate the missing data. This method proves that machine learning models plausibility by demonstrating that this kind of approach can predict the activity. In machine learning models, random forest and logistic regression are considered for activity classification. Using the mice algorithm in the training dataset authors observed that it can effectively boost recognition accuracy from 87% to 98%.
