What Is Activity Recognition
Activity recognition is an approach that makes use of a number of observations on the activities of one or more agents, as well as the conditions of their surrounding environment, with the end goal of identifying the actions and objectives of those individuals. Because of its ability to offer personalized support for a wide variety of applications and its connections to a wide variety of other fields of study, such as medicine, human-computer interaction, or sociology, this area of research has attracted the attention of several communities within the field of computer science since the 1980s.
