Abstract
We propose a methodology for recognizing actions at a distance by watching the human poses and deriving descriptors that capture the motion patterns of the poses. Human poses often carry a strong visual sense (intended meaning) which describes the related action unambiguously. But identifying the intended meaning of poses is a challenging task because of their variability and such variations in poses lead to visual sense ambiguity. From a large vocabulary of poses (visual words) we prune out ambiguous poses and extract key poses (or key words) using centrality measure of graph connectivity [1]. Under this framework, finding the key poses for a given sense (i.e., action type) amounts to constructing a graph with poses as vertices and then identifying the most "important" vertices in the graph (following centrality theory). The results on four standard activity recognition datasets show the efficacy of our approach when compared to the present state of the art.

Region-based Mixture Models for human action recognition in low-resolution videos

TL;DR: The Layered Elastic Motion Tracking (LEMT) method is adopted, a hybrid feature representation is presented to integrate both of the shape and motion features, and a Region-based Mixture Model (RMM) is proposed to be utilized for action classification.
