A Novel Wearable Sensor-Based Human Activity Recognition Approach Using Artificial Hydrocarbon Networks

2016 , Ponce, Hiram , Martinez-Villaseñor, Lourdes , Miralles-Pechuán, Luis

Human activity recognition has gained more interest in several research communities given that understanding user activities and behavior helps to deliver proactive and personalized services. There are many examples of health systems improved by human activity recognition. Nevertheless, the human activity recognition classification process is not an easy task. Different types of noise in wearable sensors data frequently hamper the human activity recognition classification process. In order to develop a successful activity recognition system, it is necessary to use stable and robust machine learning techniques capable of dealing with noisy data. In this paper, we presented the artificial hydrocarbon networks (AHN) technique to the human activity recognition community. Our artificial hydrocarbon networks novel approach is suitable for physical activity recognition, noise tolerance of corrupted data sensors and robust in terms of different issues on data sensors. We proved that the AHN classifier is very competitive for physical activity recognition and is very robust in comparison with other well-known machine learning methods.

A Survey on Freezing of Gait Detection and Prediction in Parkinson’s Disease

2020 , Martinez-Villaseñor, Lourdes , Ponce, Hiram , Miralles-Pechuán, Luis

Most of Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients present a set of motor and non-motor symptoms and behaviors that vary during the day and from day-to-day. In particular, freezing of gait (FOG) impairs their quality of life and increases the risk of falling. Smart technology like mobile communication and wearable sensors can be used for detection and prediction of FOG, increasing the understanding of the complex PD. There are surveys reviewing works on Parkinson and/or technologies used to manage this disease. In this review, we summarize and analyze works addressing FOG detection and prediction based on wearable sensors, vision and other devices. We aim to identify trends, challenges and opportunities in the development of FOG detection and prediction systems. © 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

Comparative Analysis of Artificial Hydrocarbon Networks and Data-Driven Approaches for Human Activity Recognition

2015 , Ponce, Hiram , Martinez-Villaseñor, Lourdes , Miralles-Pechuán, Luis

In recent years computing and sensing technologies advances contribute to develop effective human activity recognition systems. In context-aware and ambient assistive living applications, classification of body postures and movements, aids in the development of health systems that improve the quality of life of the disabled and the elderly. In this paper we describe a comparative analysis of data-driven activity recognition techniques against a novel supervised learning technique called artificial hydrocarbon networks (AHN). We prove that artificial hydrocarbon networks are suitable for efficient body postures and movements classification, providing a comparison between its performance and other well-known supervised learning methods.

A Flexible Approach for Human Activity Recognition Using Artificial Hydrocarbon Networks

2016 , Ponce, Hiram , Miralles-Pechuán, Luis , Martinez-Villaseñor, Lourdes

Physical activity recognition based on sensors is a growing area of interest given the great advances in wearable sensors. Applications in various domains are taking advantage of the ease of obtaining data to monitor personal activities and behavior in order to deliver proactive and personalized services. Although many activity recognition systems have been developed for more than two decades, there are still open issues to be tackled with new techniques. We address in this paper one of the main challenges of human activity recognition: Flexibility. Our goal in this work is to present artificial hydrocarbon networks as a novel flexible approach in a human activity recognition system. In order to evaluate the performance of artificial hydrocarbon networks based classifier, experimentation was designed for user-independent, and also for user-dependent case scenarios. Our results demonstrate that artificial hydrocarbon networks classifier is flexible enough to be used when building a human activity recognition system with either user-dependent or user-independent approaches.
