TLDR
A novel approach to activity recognition based on the use of ontological modeling, representation and reasoning, aiming to consolidate and improve existing approaches in terms of scalability, applicability and easy‐of‐use is introduced.Abstract:
Purpose – This paper aims to serve two main purposes. In the first instance it aims to it provide an overview addressing the state‐of‐the‐art in the area of activity recognition, in particular, in the area of object‐based activity recognition. This will provide the necessary material to inform relevant research communities of the latest developments in this area in addition to providing a reference for researchers and system developers who ware working towards the design and development of activity‐based context aware applications. In the second instance this paper introduces a novel approach to activity recognition based on the use of ontological modeling, representation and reasoning, aiming to consolidate and improve existing approaches in terms of scalability, applicability and easy‐of‐use.Design/methodology/approach – The paper initially reviews the existing approaches and algorithms, which have been used for activity recognition in a number of related areas. From each of these, their strengths and w...read more

Literature review on monitoring technologies and their outcomes in independently living elderly people.
TL;DR: Monitoring technology is a promising field, with applications to the long-term care of elderly persons, however, monitoring technologies have to be brought to the next level, with longitudinal studies that evaluate their (cost-) effectiveness to demonstrate the potential to prolong independent living of elderly people.

The computer for the 21st century
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose that specialized elements of hardware and software, connected by wires, radio waves and infrared, will soon be so ubiquitous that no-one will notice their presence.

Learning patterns of activity using real-time tracking
Chris Stauffer,W.E.L. Grimson +1 more
TL;DR: This paper focuses on motion tracking and shows how one can use observed motion to learn patterns of activity in a site and create a hierarchical binary-tree classification of the representations within a sequence.
