Inception-LSTM Human Motion Recognition with Channel Attention Mechanism.

An improved channel attention mechanism Inception-LSTM human motion recognition algorithm for inertial sensor signals is proposed to address the problems of high cost, many blind areas, and susceptibility to environmental effects in traditional video image-oriented human motion recognition algorithms. The proposed algorithm takes the inertial sensor signal as input, first extracts the spatial features of the sensor signal into the feature vector graph from multiple scales using the Inception parallel convolution structure, then uses the improved ECA (Efficient Channel Attention) channel attention module to extract the critical details of the feature vector graph of the sensor data, and finally uses the LSTM network to further extract the temporal features of the inertial sensor signals to achieve the classification and recognition of human motion posture. The experiment results demonstrate that 95.04% recognition accuracy on the public dataset PAMAP2 and 98.81% accuracy on the self-built dataset can be realized based on the algorithm model, indicating that the algorithm model has a superior recognition effect. In addition, the results of the visual analysis of channel attention weights show that the proposed model is interpretable for the recognition of human motions and is consistent with the living intuition.
