Computer Science
Artificial Intelligence
Machine Learning

Background:

Human Activity Recognition (HAR) systems utilize multi-sensor data for applications in healthcare, fitness, and assisted living.
While multiple sensors offer rich user information, excessive sensor use leads to high power consumption and diminishing performance returns.
Optimizing sensor deployment is crucial for balancing computational complexity and performance in multi-sensor HAR systems.

Purpose of the Study:

To propose a novel multi-sensor HAR system with optimized sensor deployment.
To introduce an improved binary glowworm swarm optimization (IBGSO) algorithm for selecting significant sensor sources.
To construct an ensemble learning system based on optimized sensor deployment for enhanced HAR.

Main Methods:

Developed an improved binary glowworm swarm optimization (IBGSO) algorithm for selective sensor ensemble.
Applied IBGSO to identify and select sensor sources that significantly impact HAR performance.
Constructed an ensemble learning model utilizing the optimized sensor subset for HAR.

Main Results:

The IBGSO-based approach successfully selected a smaller subset of sensors.
The optimized system achieved superior performance compared to using all sensors.
Experimental results demonstrated better performance than other optimization-based selective ensemble methods.

Conclusions:

The proposed IBGSO-based multi-sensor deployment strategy effectively optimizes sensor selection for HAR.
This approach offers a significant trade-off between reduced sensor count, power consumption, and improved recognition accuracy.
The method provides a viable solution for efficient and high-performing multi-sensor HAR systems.
