Abstract

Body Sensor Networks offer many applications in healthcare, well-being and entertainment. One of the emerging applications is recognizing activities of daily living. In this paper, we introduce a novel knowledge pattern named Emerging Sequential Pattern (ESP)—a sequential pattern that discovers significant class differences—to recognize both simple (i.e., sequential) and complex (i.e., interleaved and concurrent) activities. Based on ESPs, we build our complex activity models directly upon the sequential model to recognize both activity types. We conduct comprehensive empirical studies to evaluate and compare our solution with the state-of-the-art solutions. The results demonstrate that our approach achieves an overall accuracy of 91.89%, outperforming the existing solutions.
