  • Abstract
    Non-intrusive activity monitoring of occupants in a home environment plays an important role in developing the next generation of smart environments and remote health monitoring systems. One important challenge in this research area is lack of a comprehensive dataset. In this paper, we introduce a new dataset related to a smart home environment, which can be used for human activity recognition. In addition, we benchmark our proposed human action recognition algorithm and some other state-of-the-art methods using our dataset.
