SMART: Scene-motion-aware human action recognition framework for mental disorder group

원문 초록

Patients with mental disorders often exhibit risky abnormal actions, such as climbing walls or hitting windows, necessitating intelligent video behavior monitoring for smart healthcare with the rising Internet of Things (IoT) technology. However, the development of vision-based Human Action Recognition (HAR) for these actions is hindered by the lack of specialized algorithms and datasets. In this paper, we innovatively propose to build a vision-based HAR dataset including abnormal actions often occurring in the mental disorder group and then introduce a novel Scene-Motion-aware Action Recognition Technology framework, named SMART, consisting of two technical modules. First, we propose a scene perception module to extract human motion trajectory and human-scene interaction features, which introduces additional scene information for a supplementary semantic representation of the above actions. Second, the multi-stage fusion module fuses the skeleton motion, motion trajectory, and human-scene interaction features, enhancing the semantic association between the skeleton motion and the above supplementary representation, thus generating a comprehensive representation with both human motion and scene information. The effectiveness of our proposed method has been validated on our self-collected HAR dataset (MentalHAD), achieving 94.9% and 93.1% accuracy in un-seen subjects and scenes and outperforming state-of-the-art approaches by 6.5% and 13.2%, respectively. The demonstrated subject- and scene- generalizability makes it possible for SMART's migration to practical deployment in smart healthcare systems for mental disorder patients in medical settings. The code and dataset will be released publicly for further research: https://github.com/Inowlzy/SMART.git.
