Abstract

This study explores the development of Human Activity Recognition (HAR) systems capable of identifying suspicious activities to enhance security in public spaces. We propose an innovative solution that integrates LiDAR sensors with deep learning technologies. Our method employs advanced models operating on LiDAR point cloud, PV-RCNN for human detection, and LidarGait++ for classifying activities into categories such as standing or walking (non-suspicious) and sneaking or fighting (suspicious). Due to the scarcity of suitable real-world datasets for training such systems, we utilize a 3D simulation tool, Blender, to create realistic environments and generate labeled point cloud data. This synthetic dataset allows us to train our models effectively under controlled yet near-realistic conditions. Preliminary results from this approach are promising, demonstrating accurate localization and classification of human activities and highlighting the potential of our system to contribute significantly to proactive security measures.
