Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, various novel sensing technologies have increasingly emerged. Depending on the type, a sensor may capture different types of signals, such as light, sound, temperature, acceleration, and magnetic field, which reflect the status of the environments. By analyzing various information from different sensors, it is possible to continuously track and monitor the object’s activities in large, complex areas, such as buildings, airports, highways, rail networks, and so on. Using these sensing technologies, the precision and accuracy of the activity detection will be greatly improved. The special issue is intended for collecting the newest original high-quality research results in all aspects regarding novel sensing technologies for activity detection, including protocols, architectures, systems, platforms, algorithms, modeling and simulation as well.

This review article surveys extensively the current progresses made toward video-based human activity recognition. Three aspects for human activity recognition are addressed including core technology, human activity recognition systems, and applications from low-level to high-level representation. In the core technology, three critical processing stages are thoroughly discussed mainly: human object segmentation, feature extraction and representation, activity detection and classification algorithms. In the human activity recognition systems, three main types are mentioned, including single person activity recognition, multiple people interaction and crowd behavior, and abnormal activity recognition. Finally the domains of applications are discussed in detail, specifically, on surveillance environments, entertainment environments and healthcare systems. Our survey, which aims to provide a comprehensive state-of-the-art review of the field, also addresses several challenges associated with these systems and applications. Moreover, in this survey, various applications are discussed in great detail, specifically, a survey on the applications in healthcare monitoring systems. Full article
