چکیده

This paper addresses learning and recognition of human behaviour models from multi-modal observations in a smart home environment. The proposed approach successfully implements concurrent Hidden Markov Models that identify the occurring situation. This approach corresponds to the highlevel part from a framework to obtain high-level classification of human behaviour analysis. The results were obtained for a smart home environment, where cameras, microphones and a PMD sensor were deployed. The sensory information was first fed to the low-level classification stage, where it was analysed by four different classifiers which generate the observations to the high-level classification stage. For each situation an HMM is used, allowing the fusion of the data provided by the different sources present in the low-level classification stage. This approach proved to be highly scalable, since the recognition of new situations can be accomplished by means of adding the adequate HMM.

Utilising Temporal Information in Behaviour Recognition

The correct recognition of behaviours based on sensor observations in a smart home is a challenging problem; the sensor observations themselves can be noisy, and the pattern activity seen for a behaviour is rarely identical for different occurrences of the behaviour. For this reason, probabilistic methods such as Hidden Markov Models are preferred over symbolic reasoning approaches. However, th...

Comparison of Hidden Markov Model and Naïve Bayes Algorithms among Events in Smart Home Environment

The smart home environment consists of numerous subsystems which are heterogeneous in nature. Smart home environment are configured in such a way that it comfort driven as well as achieving optimized security and task-oriented without human intervention inside the home. The subsystems, due to their diversified nature develop difficulties as the events communicate making the smart home uncomfort...

Introducing Busy Customer Portfolio Using Hidden Markov Model

Due to the effective role of Markov models in customer relationship management (CRM), there is a lack of comprehensive literature review which contains all related literatures. In this paper the focus is on academic databases to find all the articles that had been published in 2011 and earlier. One hundred articles were identified and reviewed to find direct relevance for applying Markov models...

Context Recognition in Multiple Occupants Situations: Detecting the Number of Agents in a Smart Home Environment with Simple Sensors

Context-recognition and activity recognition systems in multi-user environments such as smart homes, usually assume to know the number of occupants in the environment. However, being able to count the number of users in the environment is important in order to accurately recognize the activities of (groups of) agents. For smart environments without cameras, the problem of counting the number of...

Activity recognition using semi-Markov models on real world smart home datasets

Accurately recognizing human activities from sensor data recorded in a smart home setting is a challenging task. Typically, probabilistic models such as the hidden Markov model (HMM) or conditional random fields (CRF) are used to map the observed sensor data onto the hidden activity states. A weakness of these models, however, is that the type of distribution used to model state durations is fi...
