Abstract


Video action recognition has been an active area of research for the past several years. However, the majority of research is concentrated on recognizing a diverse range of activities in distinct environments. On the other hand, Driver Activity Recognition (DAR) is significantly more difficult since there is a much finer distinction between various actions. Moreover, training robust DAR models requires diverse training data from multiple sources, which might not be feasible for a centralized setup due to privacy and security concerns. Furthermore, it is critical to develop efficient models due to limited computational resources available on vehicular edge devices. Federated Learning (FL), which allows data parties to collaborate on machine learning models while preserving data privacy and reducing communication requirements, can be used to overcome these challenges. Despite significant progress on various computer vision tasks, FL for DAR has been largely unexplored. In this work, we propose an FL-based DAR model and extensively benchmark the model performance on two datasets under various practical setups. Our results indicate that the proposed approach performs competitively under the centralized (non-FL) and decentralized (FL) settings.
