Abstract

En 中文
Wrist-worn devices equipped with accelerometers constitute a non-intrusive way to achieve active and assisted living (AAL) goals, such as automatic journaling for self-reflection, i.e., lifelogging, as well as to provide other services, such as general health and wellbeing monitoring, personal autonomy assessment, among others. Human action recognition (HAR), and in particular, the recognition of activities of daily living (ADLs), can be used for these types of assessment or journaling. In this paper, a many-objective evolutionary algorithm (MaOEA) is used in order to maximise action recognition from individuals while concealing (minimising recognition of) gender and age. To validate the proposed method, the PAAL accelerometer signal ADL dataset (v2.0) is used, which includes data from 52 participants (26 men and 26 women) and 24 activity class labels. The results show a drop in gender and age recognition to 58% (from 89%, a 31% drop), and to 39% (from 83%, a 44% drop), respectively; while action recognition stays closer to the initial value of 68% (from: 87%, i.e., 19% down).
