Abstract:

Deep learning (DL) has shown tremendous promise in radar applications that involve target classification and imaging. In the field of indoor monitoring, researchers have shown an interest in DL for classifying daily human activities, detecting falls, and monitoring gait abnormalities. Driving this interest are emerging applications related to smart and secure homes, assisted living, and medical diagnosis. The success of DL in providing an accurate real-time accounting of observed human-motion articulations fundamentally depends on the neural network structure, input data representation, and proper training. This article puts DL in the context of data-driven approaches for motion classification and compares its performance with other approaches employing handcrafted features. We discuss recent proposed enhancements of DL classification performance and report on important challenges and possible future research to realize its full potential.
