Hybrid InceptionV3-SVM-Based Approach for Human Posture Detection in Health Monitoring Systems

Posture detection targets toward providing assessments for the monitoring of the health and welfare of humans have been of great interest to researchers from different disciplines. The use of computer vision systems for posture recognition might result in useful improvements in healthy aging and support for elderly people in their daily activities in the field of health care. Computer vision and pattern recognition communities are particularly interested in fall automated recognition. Human sensing and artificial intelligence have both paid great attention to human posture detection (HPD). The health status of elderly people can be remotely monitored using human posture detection, which can distinguish between positions such as standing, sitting, and walking. The most recent research identified posture using both deep learning (DL) and conventional machine learning (ML) classifiers. However, these techniques do not effectively identify the postures and overfits of the model overfits. Therefore, this study suggested a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) framework to examine and classify human posture in health monitoring systems. This study proposes a feature selection technique, DCNN, and a machine learning technique to assess the previously mentioned problems. The InceptionV3 DCNN model is hybridized with SVM ML and its performance is compared. Furthermore, the performance of the proposed system is validated with other transfer learning (TL) techniques such as InceptionV3, DenseNet121, and ResNet50. This study uses the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO)-based feature selection to enhance the feature vector. The study also used various techniques, such as data augmentation, dropout, and early stop, to overcome the problem of model overfitting. The performance of this DCNN framework is tested using benchmark Silhouettes of human posture and classification accuracy, loss, and AUC value of 95.42%, 0.01, and 99.35% are attained, respectively. Furthermore, the results of the proposed technology offer the most promising solution for indoor monitoring systems.
