CSI-HC: A WiFi-Based Indoor Complex Human Motion Recognition Method

WiFi indoor personnel behavior recognition has become the core technology of wireless network perception. However, the existing human behavior recognition methods have great challenges in terms of detection accuracy, intrusion, and complexity of operations. In this paper, we firstly analyze and summarize the existing human motion recognition schemes, and due to the existence of the problems in them, we propose a noninvasive, highly robust complex human motion recognition scheme based on Channel State Information (CSI), that is, CSI-HC, and the traditional Chinese martial art XingYiQuan is verified as a complex motion background. CSI-HC is divided into two phases: offline and online. In the offline phase, the human motion data are collected on the commercial Atheros NIC and a powerful denoising method is constructed by using the Butterworth low-pass filter and wavelet function to filter the outliers in the motion data. Then, through Restricted Boltzmann Machine (RBM) training and classification, we establish offline fingerprint information. In the online phase, SoftMax regression is used to correct the RBM classification to process the motion data collected in real time and the processed real-time data are matched with the offline fingerprint information. On this basis, the recognition of a complex human motion is realized. Finally, through repeated experiments in three classical indoor scenes, the parameter setting and user diversity affecting the accuracy of motion recognition are analyzed and the robustness of CSI-HC is detected. In addition, the performance of the proposed method is compared with that of the existing motion recognition methods. The experimental results show that the average motion recognition rate of CSI-HC in three classic indoor scenes reaches 85.4%, in terms of motion complexity and indoor recognition accuracy. Compared with other algorithms, it has higher stability and robustness.
