Abstract

Radar-based human activities recognition is still an open problem and is a key to detect anomalous behaviour for security and health applications. Deep learning networks such as convolutional neural networks (CNN) have been proposed for such tasks and showed better performance than traditional supervised learning paradigm. However, it is hard to deploy CNN networks to embedded systems due to the limited computational power available. From this point of concern, the use of a recurrent neural network (RNN) is proposed in this paper for human activities classification. We also propose an innovative data argumentation method to train the neural network using a limited number of data. The experiment shows that our network can achieve a mean accuracy of 94.3% in human activity classification.
