The Language of Actions: Recovering the Syntax and Semantics of Goal-Directed Human Activities

TL;DR: The HTK toolkit is evaluated, a state-of-the-art speech recognition engine, in combination with multiple video feature descriptors, for both the recognition of cooking activities as well as the semantic parsing of videos into action units.

A Review of Human Activity Recognition Methods

TL;DR: This work proposes a categorization of human activity methodologies and divides human activity classification methods into two large categories according to whether they use data from different modalities or not, and examines the requirements for an ideal human activity recognition dataset.

UniMiB SHAR: A Dataset for Human Activity Recognition Using Acceleration Data from Smartphones

TL;DR: A new dataset of acceleration samples acquired with an Android smartphone designed for human activity recognition and fall detection is presented and shows that the presence of samples of the same subject both in the training and in the test datasets, increases the performance of the classifiers regardless of the feature vector used.

Dynamic-MUSIC: accurate device-free indoor localization

TL;DR: MaTrack proposes a novel Dynamic-MUSIC method to detect the subtle reflection signals from human body and further differentiate them from those reflected signals from static objects to identify the human target's angle for localization.

Learning realistic human actions from movies

TL;DR: A new method for video classification that builds upon and extends several recent ideas including local space-time features,space-time pyramids and multi-channel non-linear SVMs is presented and shown to improve state-of-the-art results on the standard KTH action dataset.

Running experiments on Amazon Mechanical Turk

TL;DR: The authors presented new demographic data about the Mechanical Turk subject population, reviewed the strengths of Mechanical Turk relative to other online and offline methods of recruiting subjects, and compared the magnitude of effects obtained using Mechanical Turk and traditional subject pools.

HMDB: A large video database for human motion recognition

TL;DR: This paper uses the largest action video database to-date with 51 action categories, which in total contain around 7,000 manually annotated clips extracted from a variety of sources ranging from digitized movies to YouTube, to evaluate the performance of two representative computer vision systems for action recognition and explore the robustness of these methods under various conditions.
