Augmentation of Human Activity Data: Convert, Generate, Transform
Human motion data is helpful for various applications in industry and daily living. Data-driven neural network models trained on human motion data facilitate human activity recognition and identity verification applications. However, large annotated and processed human motion datasets are scarce, leading to overfitting the model to the training data. Thus, it is important to investigate data augmentation techniques to generate additional data to help the models to generalise. In addition, the choice of augmentation techniques severely impacts the performance of self-supervised learning. Thus, this work attempts various augmentation techniques on seven sensor-based human activity datasets. Three supervised neural network models and one self-supervised learning model were experimented with. We note that due to the high variability in the performance of algorithmic augmentation techniques on time-series human activity datasets, generative data is highly influential in this domain.
