Topics: Skeleton and Sensor for Healthcare

Abstract:

Skeleton joint points are widely explored for human activity recognition (HAR), especially after the advent of MS Kinect sensor. On the other hand, various sensors are engaged in human activity and behavior understanding. Vision-based human action or activity recognition approaches are based on RGB video sequences, or depth maps, or from skeleton data – taken from normal video cameras or depth cameras. On the other hand, sensor-based activity recognition methods are basically based on the data collected from wearable sensors having accelerometer, gyroscope, or so on. There are numerous applications on HAR, however, the healthcare, elderly support, and related applications become very important arenas with huge social and financial impact. Due to the advent of various IoT sensors, it becomes more competitive as well as easier to explore different applications. The keynote will cover HAR approaches in both skeleton-based and sensor-based domains, highlight healthcare perspectives and methods. The presentation will be based on the books as follows:
