Abstract

Video surveillance cameras have been around for ages. Taking a step forward, a system is built that does the work of a surveillance camera and helps us understand a child’s behavioral and emotional aspects. The research proposes a solution that aims to help the working parents of children between the ages of 4 and 12. Due to constant work commitments, some parents are forced to leave their children at home alone or with a caretaker. The objective of the research is to detect and recognize the day-to-day activities a child performs using the human activity recognition model. Emotions play relevant roles in social and daily life so after detecting the activity being performed, the aim is to detect the emotion expressed by the child with the help of emotional analysis using the facial expression recognition model. The model also analyzes the data recorded in the system and does the graphical analysis of the emotions expressed by the child. The research also includes a model to keep a check on the behavioral aspects of the caretaker/guardian present at home to prevent inappropriate behavior toward the child and also to protect the child from being a victim of child abuse or careless handling of harmful objects. The research also provides the dataset for child activity recognition and child abuse detection that can animate researchers interested in activity recognition and abuse detection for children. Random forest yields an accuracy of 91.27% for activity recognition which is higher than the other experimented model. The proposed AbuseNet is superior to other ImageNet models with 98.20% accuracy.
