Cross-Domain Human Activity Recognition Using Low-Resolution Infrared Sensors.

This paper investigates the feasibility of cross-domain recognition for human activities captured using low-resolution 8 × 8 infrared sensors in indoor environments. To achieve this, a novel prototype recurrent convolutional network (PRCN) was evaluated using a few-shot learning strategy, classifying up to eleven activity classes in scenarios where one or two individuals engaged in daily tasks. The model was tested on two independent datasets, with real-world measurements. Initially, three different networks were compared as feature extractors within the prototype network. Following this, a cross-domain evaluation was conducted between the real datasets. The results demonstrated the model's effectiveness, showing that it performed well regardless of the diversity of samples in the training dataset.
