Deep Residual Network for Smartwatch-Based User Identification through Complex Hand Movements.

Wearable technology has advanced significantly and is now used in various entertainment and business contexts. Authentication methods could be trustworthy, transparent, and non-intrusive to guarantee that users can engage in online communications without consequences. An authentication system on a security framework starts with a process for identifying the user to ensure that the user is permitted. Establishing and verifying an individual's appearance usually requires a lot of effort. Recent years have seen an increase in the usage of activity-based user identification systems to identify individuals. Despite this, there has not been much research into how complex hand movements can be used to determine the identity of an individual. This research used a one-dimensional residual network with squeeze-and-excitation (SE) configurations called the 1D-ResNet-SE model to investigate hand movements and user identification. According to the findings, the SE modules have enhanced the one-dimensional residual network's identification ability. As a deep learning model, the proposed methodology is capable of effectively identifying features from the input smartwatch sensor and could be utilized as an end-to-end model to clarify the modeling process. The 1D-ResNet-SE identification model is superior to the other models. Hand movement assessment based on deep learning is an effective technique to identify smartwatch users.
