Identifying human activities in an automatic and non-intrusive manner is an important and emerging area of research. With the rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT), combined with advances in machine/deep learning, technology-based solutions to automatically detect and model human activities are now becoming possible.
Recently, there has been a move toward edge computing as a way of reducing communication latency and network communication whilst preserving privacy. Various solutions have been developed to support modelling of human activities. In particular, deep learning algorithms have shown high performance, however, typically require large amounts of computation for training and inference, making them unsuitable for deployment on resource constrained edge devices. Devices in a resource-constrained environment become even more challenging when they are battery powered, such is the case with wearable applications, making them computationally intensive and power demanding.
Ulster University (Irish: Ollscoil Uladh, Ulster Scots: Ulstèr Universitie or Ulstèr Varsitie), officially the University of Ulster, is a multi-campus public university located in Northern Ireland. It is often referred to informally and unofficially as Ulster, or by the abbreviation UU. It is the second largest university on the island of Ireland, after the federal National University of Ireland.... continue reading
