Abstract

Human action recognition from video has attracted great attentions from various communities due to its wide applications. Regarded as an effective way to analyze human movements, human skeleton is extracted and represents human body as dots and lines, Recently, depth-cameras make skeleton tracking become practical. Based on the extraction and template matching, we develop a system for online human action segmentation and recognition in this paper. We proposed a method to generate action templates that can be used to represent intra-class variations. We then adopted efficient subsequence matching algorithm for online process. The experimental results demonstrated the effectiveness and efficiency of our system.
