WISE-HAR: A Generalizable Ensemble Deep Learning Framework for WiFi-Based Human Activity Recognition

arXiv:2606.02974v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Human Activity Recognition (HAR) using WiFi signals has emerged as a transformative technology for smart homes, healthcare monitoring, security systems, and ambient assisted living. Unlike traditional camera-based systems that raise significant privacy concerns and fail in low-light conditions, or wearable sensors that require user compliance, WiFi-based HAR is non-intrusive, privacy-preserving, cost-effective, and works seamlessly in any lighting condition. This paper presents a comprehensive approach to recognize three distinct human activiti

Why this matters
