WiPg: Contactless Action Recognition Using Ambient Wi‐Fi Signals

Abstract

Motion recognition has a wide range of applications at present. Recently, motion recognition by analyzing the channel state information (CSI) in Wi‐Fi packets has been favored by more and more scholars. Because CSI collected in the wireless signal environment of human activity usually carries a large amount of human‐related information, the motion‐recognition model trained for a specific person usually does not work well in predicting another person’s motion. To deal with the difference, we propose a personnel‐independent action‐recognition model called WiPg, which is built by convolutional neural network (CNN) and generative adversarial network (GAN). Ac-cording to CSI data of 14 yoga movements of 10 experimenters with different body types, model training and testing were carried out, and the recognition results, independent of bod type, were obtained. The experimental results show that the average correct rate of WiPg can reach 92.7% for recognition of the 14 yoga poses, and WiPg realizes “cross‐personnel” movement recognition with excellent recognition performance.
