Human Activity and Behavior Analysis relates to the field of vision and sensor-based human action or activity and behavior analysis and recognition. The book includes a series of methodologies, surveys, relevant datasets, challenging applications, ideas, and future prospects. Activity recognition has been a hot research topic for some years now. One of its main applications is ambient assisted living, so that people in need of assistance might stay in their own environment longer than previously possible. There is a wide range of sensors of different types and applications being tested in this domain, ranging from ambient binary motion sensors and pressure mats to wearable gyroscopes or sensors monitoring body functions. This is also due to the many different levels of surveillance tested by the researchers. The library we selected to use here is Apache Beam and in-memory database Redis. There are two reasons to use Apache Beam: The first is the ease of implementation. Apache Beam can be written in programming languages such as Java or Python, and the process is represented as a pipeline, so it is intuitive and easy to implement. We used Machine Learning methods for classification and extracted statistical features from raw 3-D acceleration and 3-D angular velocity for each axis within the segment. In this work, we compared three types of classifiers, multi-class support vector machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), and K Nearest Neighbors (KNN) from Scikit-learn, a Machine Learning library for Python. We chose to set all of the parameters of Machine Learning models to default values of Scikit-learn. Before training data with classifiers, we chose RF and KNN classifiers which calculate distances between different points in their algorithm.

The book discusses topics such as action recognition, action understanding, gait analysis, gesture recognition, behavior analysis, emotion and affective computing, and related areas. Sensors and cameras are exploited for the analysis and recognition of human activity and behavior. In the book Human Activity and Behavior Analysis: Advances in Computer Vision and Sensors, we have divided across two volumes, 40 wonderful chapters under five parts: Part 1: Healthcare and Emotion (Chapters 1–7), Part 2: Mental Health (Chapters 8–14), Part 3: Nurse Care Records (Chapters 15–26), Part 4: Movement and Sensors (Chapters 27–36), and Part 5: Sports Activity Analysis (Chapters 37–40). In a complex problem such as stress detection, the application of some type of Machine Learning (ML) algorithms makes sense. The vast amount of data in a context where multiple variables, such as HR, HRV, GSR, and ST, might have different outputs based on each other, makes it a prime target for the ML approach. Some of the most common classification algorithms are Support Vector Machines (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbours (K-NN), Random Forests (RF), Decision Trees, and Naive Bayes (NB). The data processing and model development used different Python libraries such as Pandas, Tensorflow, and Keras. To recognize stress from the physiological data, we tested different Machine Learning algorithms. We implemented the approach using Python and the Scikit-learn library.

Game Design Critic Joshua Bycer is back with another entry in the Game Design Deep Series to focus on the youngest genre yet: soulslikes. Over a decade, From Software defined a new genre that has led to studios chasing after them hit after hit. In this book, Josh will cover the history of the genre and popular soulslike games of the 2010s and discuss what aspects of design make a game a soulslike. Abstracted design or RPG gameplay is about the characters and their attributes determining the success of the game, and less on the player’s reflexes. If you would like a larger look at the history of the RPG genre and many of its various subgenres, you can find that in Game Design Deep Dive: Role Playing Games. For this book, the main area of abstracted design that soulslike designers make use of comes from progression and increasing the power of the player’s character.
