Abstract
Automatic human activity recognition is one of the milestones of smart city surveillance projects. Human activity detection and recognition aim to identify the activities based on the observations that are being performed by the subject. Hence, vision-based human activity recognition systems have a wide scope in video surveillance, health care systems, and human-computer interaction. Currently, the world is moving towards a smart and safe city concept. Automatic human activity recognition is the major challenge of smart city surveillance. The proposed research work employed fine-tuned YOLO-v4 for activity detection, whereas for classification purposes, 3D-CNN has been implemented. Besides the classification, the presented research model also leverages human-object interaction with the help of intersection over union (IOU). An Internet of Things (IoT) based architecture is implemented to take efficient and real-time decisions. The dataset of exploit classes has been taken from the UCF-Crime dataset for activity recognition. At the same time, the dataset extracted from MS-COCO for suspicious object detection is involved in human-object interaction. This research is also applied to human activity detection and recognition in the university premises for real-time suspicious activity detection and automatic alerts. The experiments have exhibited that the proposed multimodal approach achieves remarkable activity detection and recognition accuracy.
