This book offer clear descriptions of the basic structure for the recognition and classification of human activities using different types of sensor module and smart devices in e.g. healthcare, education, monitoring the elderly, daily human behavior, and fitness monitoring.

This book offer clear descriptions of the basic structure for the recognition and classification of human activities using different types of sensor module and smart devices in e.g. healthcare, education, monitoring the elderly, daily human behavior, and fitness monitoring. In addition, the complexities, challenges, and design issues involved in data collection, processing, and other fundamental stages along with datasets, methods, etc., are discussed in detail. The book offers a valuable resource for readers in the fields of pattern recognition, human–computer interaction, and the Internet of Things.

“This book is filling the huge void by introducing 10 excellent chapters...” (Toshio Fukuda, Fellow IEEE, IEEE President 2020)

“This timely book on sensor-based activity recognition will serve as an excellent overview of the state of the art and a roadmap for what is to come in this area... I highly recommend it.” (Matthew Turk, Fellow: IEEE, IAPR, President, Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago)
