Hierarchical classification method based on selective learning of slacked hierarchy for activity recognition systems

作者:

Highlights:

• The problem of multi-class activity classification is addressed in this article.

• The proposed method is based on error-correcting output coding (ECOC) method.

• Two independent base classifiers are combined for multi-class activity recognition.

• A multistage maximum voting process is used to combine the results of classifiers.

• The proposed method is verified to be applicable for real-time sensor readings.
