- Abstract:

Human activity recognition (HAR) utilizes wearable computing, machine learning, and other technologies to identify and understand human behaviors, which remarkably enhances current human living standards in areas such as behavior tracking, health monitoring, and human–computer interaction. Inertial sensors have increasingly become the mainstream devices in wearable computing due to their highly compact size, low cost, and stable signal characteristics. Consequently, much research in the HAR field employs inertial signals as data sources and applies deep learning algorithms to address challenges in data utilization, privacy protection, and model deployment. This paper systematically introduces deep learning approaches for HAR and categorizes and summarizes existing work, and comprehensively analyzes current advancements, development trends, and key challenges. First, this paper introduces mainstream wearable devices used in HAR research and their data modalities, and details the characteristics of each modality. Second, this paper compiles commonly used HAR datasets in recent years and summarizes the data modalities, sensor placements, movement types, and citation frequencies within each dataset. Furthermore, the paper reviews the progress of several deep learning methods commonly applied in the HAR field from the perspectives of algorithm characteristics and application scenarios. Finally, this paper discusses the challenges currently confronting deep learning in the HAR field and the potential solutions.
