As contact with oneself and the environment accompanies almost all human activities, a Smart-Sleeve, made of soft and stretchable textile pressure sensor matrix, is proposed to sense human contact with the surroundings and identify performed activities in this work. Additionally, a dataset including 18 activities, performed by 14 subjects in 10 repetitions, is generated. The Smart-Sleeve is evaluated over six classical machine learning classifiers (support vector machine, k-nearest neighbor, logistic regression, random forest, decision tree and naive Bayes) and a convolutional neural network model. For classical machine learning, a new normalization approach is proposed to overcome signal differences caused by different body sizes and statistical, geometric, and symmetry features are used. All classification techniques are compared in terms of classification accuracy, precision, recall, and F-measure. Average accuracies of 82.02% (support vector machine) and 82.30% (convolutional neural network) can be achieved in 10-fold cross-validation, and 72.66% (support vector machine) and 74.84% (convolutional neural network) in leave-one-subject-out validation, which shows that the Smart-Sleeve and the proposed data processing method are suitable for human activity recognition.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22051702","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,22]],"date-time":"2022-02-22T22:35:00Z","timestamp":1645569300000},"page":"1702","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Smart-Sleeve: A Wearable Textile Pressure Sensor Array for Human Activity Recognition"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4666-4625","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guanghua","family":"Xu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Data Science, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230026, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2840-3763","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Quan","family":"Wan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science and Technology, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230026, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wenwu","family":"Deng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science and Technology, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230026, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1821-0666","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tao","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science and Technology, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230026, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jingyuan","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Computer Science and Technology, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230026, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Haresamudram, H., Anderson, D.V., and Pl\u00f6tz, T.
