Description
Summary:Abstract Non‐suicide self‐injury (NSSI) can be dangerous and difficult for guardians or caregivers to detect in time. NSSI refers to when people hurt themselves even though they have no wish to cause critical or long‐lasting hurt. To timely identify and effectively prevent NSSI in order to reduce the suicide rates of patients with a potential suicide risk, the detection of NSSI based on the spatiotemporal features of indoor activities is proposed. Firstly, an NSSI behaviour dataset is provided, and it includes four categories that can be used for scientific research on NSSI evaluation. Secondly, an NSSI detection algorithm based on the spatiotemporal features of indoor activities (NssiDetection) is proposed. NssiDetection calculates the human bounding box by using an object detection model and employs a behaviour detection model to extract the temporal and spatial features of NSSI behaviour. Thirdly, the optimal combination schemes of NssiDetection is investigated by checking its performance with different behaviour detection methods and training strategies. Lastly, a case study is performed by implementing an NSSI behaviour detection prototype system. The prototype system has a recognition accuracy of 84.18% for NSSI actions with new backgrounds, persons, or camera angles.
