The advent of newer and better technologies has made Human Activity Recognition (HAR) highly essential in our daily lives. HAR is a classification problem where the activity of humans is classified by analyzing the data collected from various sources like sensors, cameras etc. for a period of time. In this work, we have proposed a model for activity recognition which will provide a substructure for the assisted living environment. We used a genetic search based feature selection for the management of the voluminous data generated from various embedded sensors such as accelerometer, gyroscope, etc. We evaluated the proposed model on a sensor-based dataset - Human Activities and Postural Transitions Recognition (HAPT) which is publically available. The proposed model yields an accuracy of 97.04% and is better as compared to the other existing classification algorithms on the basis of several considered evaluation metrics. In this paper, we have also presented a cloud based edge computing architecture for the deployment of the proposed model which will ensure faster and uninterrupted assisted living environment.
