Abstract
Both Visual and inertial are important modals of human action recognition and have a wide range of applications in virtual reality, human-computer interaction, action perception, and other fields. Currently, most of the work has achieved significant results by utilizing both visual and inertial sensor data, as well as deep learning methods. This method of integrating multimodal information makes the system more robust and adaptable to different environments and action scenarios. However, these works still have the drawbacks of data fusion and high demand for computing resources. In this article, a method for continuous human action recognition based on visual and inertial sensors using attention is proposed. Specifically, a deep visual inertial attention network(VIANet) architecture was designed to integrate spatial, channel and temporal attention into visual 3D CNN, integrate temporal attention mechanism into inertial 2D CNN, and perform decision level fusion on it. Experimental verification was conducted on the C-MHAD public dataset. The experiment shows that the proposed VIANet outperforms previous baseline in multi-modal human action recognition.
