Human activity recognition (HAR) has been of interest in recent years due to the growing demands in many areas. Applications of HAR include healthcare systems to monitor activities of daily living (ADL) (primarily due to the rapidly growing population of the elderly), security environments for automatic recognition of abnormal activities to notify the relevant authorities, and improve human interaction with the computer. HAR research can be classified according to the data acquisition tools (sensors or cameras), methods (handcrafted methods or deep learning methods), and the complexity of the activity. In the healthcare system, HAR based on wearable sensors is a new technology that consists of three essential parts worth examining: the location of the wearable sensor, data preprocessing (feature calculation, extraction, and selection), and the recognition methods. This survey aims to examine all aspects of HAR based on wearable sensors, thus analyzing the applications, challenges, datasets, approaches, and components. It also provides coherent categorizations, purposeful comparisons, and systematic architecture. Then, this paper performs qualitative evaluations by criteria considered in this system on the approaches and makes available comprehensive reviews of the HAR system. Therefore, this survey is more extensive and coherent than recent surveys in this field. |
