An activity recognition system at home based on illuminance sensors

Abstract

A social issue that leads to the safety and security of people is the network that monitors the safety of people living alone in remote areas. Various research and developments of indoor human activity recognition using IoT sensor nodes have been conducted in recent years. In this research, we focus on turning on and off indoor lighting and propose an activity recognition system at home using an illuminance sensor. An IoT sensor node with a built-in illuminance sensor is attached to the wall near the indoor lighting equipment. The living activities of people in the room are estimated from changes in the illuminance. We assume a significant change in the illuminance of the indoor lighting is observed at least once a day at the sampling interval of the IoT sensor node. In that case, it is possible to estimate the operation of the indoor lighting due to daily activities and to confirm the safety of people living alone in remote areas. The activity recognition system was evaluated for a total of 380 days, excluding the missing period. The estimation of indoor lighting manipulation by daily activities was accurate for 376 days. Precision, Recall, and F-measure score values, which are evaluation indices for activity estimation, were 94.9%, 98.2%, and 96.5%, respectively.
