ABSTRACT
The paper presents an ongoing work that aims for real-time action recognition specifically tailored for child-centered research. To this end, we collected and annotated a dataset of 200 primary school children aged 6 to 11 years old. Each child was asked to perform seven actions: boxing, waving, clapping, running, jogging, walking towards the camera, and walking from side to side. Two camera perspectives are provided, with a top view in RGB format and a frontal view in both RGB and RGB-D formats. Body keypoints (skeleton data) are extracted using OpenPose and OpenNI tools. The results of this work are expected to bridge the performance gap between activity recognition systems for adults and children.

MAMAS: Supporting Parent--Child Mealtime Interactions Using Automated Tracking and Speech Recognition
CSCWMany parents of young children find it challenging to deal with their children's eating problems, and parent--child mealtime interaction is fundamental in forming children's healthy eating habits. In this paper, we present the results of a three-week ...
Tangible interaction in parent-child collaboration: encouraging awareness and reflection
IDC '18: Proceedings of the 17th ACM Conference on Interaction Design and ChildrenParent-child interaction during a collaborative activity can empower children if parents are able to envision their child's mental state and regulate their behavior. However, this ability is a great challenge for many parents. We designed a simple ...
