| Abstract |
Human activity recognition is widely used in smart cities, public safety and other fields, especially in smart home systems where it has a pivotal role. The study addresses the shortcomings of Markov logic networks for human activity recognition and proposes a human activity recognition method in smart home scenarios - an activity recognition framework based on Probabilistic Soft Logic (PSL). The framework is able to deal with logical uncertainty problems and provides expression and inference mechanisms for data uncertainty problems on this basis. The framework utilizes Deng entropy evidence theory to provide an evaluation method for sensor event uncertainty, and combines event calculus for activity modeling. Comparing the PSL method with three other common recognition methods, Ontology, Hidden Markov Model (HMM), and Markov logic network, on a public dataset, it was found that the PSL method has a much better ability to handle data uncertainty than the other three algorithms. The average recognition rates on the ADL and ADL-E sub datasets were 82.87% and 80.33%, respectively. In experiments to verify the ability of PSL to handle temporal complexity, PSL showed the least significant decrease in the average recognition rate and maintained an average recognition rate of 81.02% in the presence of concurrent and alternating activities. The human activity recognition method based on PSL has a better performance in handling both data uncertainty and temporal complexity © 2023, International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications.All Rights Reserved. |
