Multi-Feature Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (M-FUDA) Applied to Cross Unaligned Domain-Specific Distributions in Device-Free Human Activity Classification

Human-computer interaction (HCI) drives innovation by bridging humans and technology, with human activity recognition (HAR) playing a key role. Traditional HAR systems require user cooperation and infrastructure, raising privacy concerns. In recent years, Wi-Fi devices have leveraged channel state information (CSI) to decode human movements without additional infrastructure, preserving privacy. However, these systems struggle with unseen users, new environments, and scalability, thereby limiting real-world applications. Recent research has also demonstrated that the impact of surroundings causes dissimilar variations in the channel state information at different times of the day. In this paper, we propose an unsupervised multi-source domain adaptation technique that addresses these challenges. By aligning diverse data distributions with target domain variations (e.g., new users, environments, or atmospheric conditions), the method enhances system adaptability by leveraging public datasets with varying domain samples. Experiments on three public CSI datasets using a preprocessing module to convert CSI into image-like formats demonstrate significant improvements to baseline methods with an average micro-F1 score of 81% for cross-user, 76% for cross-user and cross-environment, and 73% for cross-atmospheric tasks. The approach proves effective for scalable, device-free sensing in realistic cross-domain HAR scenarios.
