Human Action Recognition in Multi-Level Convolutional Temporal Attention Network

Human Action Recognition (HAR) has widespread applications in areas such as human-computer interaction, elderly care, and home healthcare. However, current sensor-based HAR faces challenges of low fine-grained recognition performance and difficulty in distinguishing similar actions. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a model based on Multilevel Convolutional Time Series Attention Network (MCTSANet). By Multi-ResCNN to pay attention to different levels of features and using Time Series Attention (TSA) to pay attention to the more important data in the channel, so as to improve the ability of confusable action recognition. Experiments on three public datasets show that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art sensor-based HAR approaches.
