About this title

Synopsis

Focusing on the vision-based and sensor-based recognition and analysis of human activity and behavior, this book gathers extended versions of selected papers presented at the International Conference on Activity and Behavior Computing (ABC 2020), held in Kitakyushu, Japan on August 26 – 29, 2020. The respective chapters cover action recognition, action understanding, gait analysis, gesture recognition, behavior analysis, emotion and affective computing, and related areas. The book addresses various challenges and aspects of human activity recognition in both the sensor-based and vision-based domains, making it a unique guide to the field.

Sozo Inoue, Ph.D., is a Professor in Kyushu Institute of Technology, Japan. His research interests include human activity recognition with smart phones and healthcare application of web/pervasive/ubiquitous systems. Currently, he is working on verification studies in real field applications, and collecting and providing a large-scale open dataset for activity recognition, such as a mobile accelerator dataset with about 35,000 activity data from more than 200 subjects, nurses’ sensor data combined with 100 patients’ sensor data and medical records, and 34 households’ light sensor dataset for 4 months combined with smart meter data. Inoue has a Ph.D. of Engineering from Kyushu University in 2003. After completion of his degree, he was appointed as an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Information Science and Electrical Engineering at the Kyushu University, Japan. He then moved to t the Research Department at the Kyushu University Library in 2006.
