Activity classification based on multi-sensor input
10 Jan 23
A method for classifying activity based on multi-sensor input includes receiving, from two or more sensors, sensor data indicating activity within a building, determining, for each of the two or more sensors and based on the received sensor data, (i) an extracted feature vector for activity within the building and (ii) location data, labelling each of the extracted feature vectors with the location data, generating, using the extracted feature vectors, an integrated feature vector, detecting a particular activity based on the integrated feature vector, and in response to detecting the particular activity, performing a monitoring action.
