Abstract Recognition of human actions from visual contents is a budding field of computer vision and image understanding. The problem with such recognition system is the huge dimensions of the feature vectors. Many of these features are irrelevant to the classification mechanism. For this reason, in this paper, we propose a novel Feature Selection (FS) model called Co-operative Genetic Algorithm (CGA) to select some of the most important and discriminating features from the entire feature set to improve the classification accuracy as well as the time requirement of the activity recognition mechanism. In CGA, we have made an effort to embed the concepts of co-operative game theory in GA to create a both-way reinforcement mechanism to improve the solution of the FS model. The proposed FS model is tested on four benchmark video datasets such as Weizmann, KTH, UCF11, HMDB51 and two sensor-based UCI HAR datasets. The experiments are conducted using four state-of-the-art feature descriptors, namely HOG, GLCM, SURF, and GIST. It is found that there is a significant improvement in the overall classification accuracy while considering nearly 50 to 60% of the original feature vector.

Video based human action recognition has attained more attraction from the researchers and it predominates in the field of computer vision and pattern recognition. In this paper we deliver a new approach to suppress the background data and to extract 2D data of foreground human object of the video sequence. A combination of convex hull area, convex hull perimeter, solidity and eccentricity is used to represent the feature vector. Experiments are conducted on Weizmann video dataset to assess how the system is doing. The discriminative nature of the feature vectors assures accuracy in action recognition.

Significant Research

Human action recognition (HAR) is one of most significant research topics, and it has attracted the concentration of many researchers. Automatic HAR system is applied in several fields like visual surveillance, data retrieval, healthcare, etc. Based on this inspiration, in this chapter, the authors propose a new HAR model that considers an image as input and analyses and exposes the action present in it. Under the analysis phase, they implement two different feature extraction methods with the help of rotation invariant Gabor filter and edge adaptive wavelet filter. For every action image, a new vector called as composite feature vector is formulated and then subjected to dimensionality reduction through principal component analysis (PCA). Finally, the authors employ the most popular supervised machine learning algorithm (i.e., support vector machine [SVM]) for classification. Simulation is done over two standard datasets; they are KTH and Weizmann, and the performance is measured through an accuracy metric.

A novel method based on hybrid feature is proposed for human action recognition in video image sequences, which includes two stages of feature extraction and action recognition. Firstly, we use adaptive background subtraction algorithm to extract global silhouette feature and optical flow model to extract local optical flow feature. Then we combine global silhouette feature vector and local optical flow feature vector to form a hybrid feature vector. Secondly, in order to improve the recognition accuracy, we use an optimized Multiple Instance Learning algorithm to recognize human actions, in which an Iterative Querying Heuristic (IQH) optimization algorithm is used to train the Multiple Instance Learning model. We demonstrate that our hybrid feature-based action representation can effectively classify novel actions on two different data sets. Experiments show that our results are comparable to, and significantly better than, the results of two state-of-the-art approaches on these data sets, which meets the requirements of stable, reliable, high precision, and anti-interference ability and so forth.

New Feature

The common spatial pattern (CSP) is a very effective feature extraction method in motor imagery based brain computer interface (BCI), but its performance depends on the selection of the optimal frequency band. Although a lot of research works have been proposed to improve CSP, most of these works have the problems of large computation costs and long feature extraction time. To this end, three new feature extraction methods based on CSP and a new feature selection method based on non-convex log regularization are proposed in this paper. Firstly, EEG signals are spatially filtered by CSP, and then three new feature extraction methods are proposed. We called them CSP-wavelet, CSP-WPD and CSP-FB, respectively. For CSP-Wavelet and CSP-WPD, the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) or wavelet packet decomposition (WPD) is used to decompose the spatially filtered signals, and then the energy and standard deviation of the wavelet coefficients are extracted as features. For CSP-FB, the spatially filtered signals are filtered into multiple bands by a filter bank (FB), and then the logarithm of variances of each band are extracted as features. Secondly, a sparse optimization method regularized with a non-convex log function is proposed for the feature selection, which we called LOG, and an optimization algorithm for LOG is given. Finally, ensemble learning is used for secondary feature selection and classification model construction. Combing feature extraction and feature selection methods, a total of three new EEG decoding methods are obtained, namely CSP-Wavelet+LOG, CSP-WPD+LOG, and CSP-FB+LOG. Four public motor imagery datasets are used to verify the performance of the proposed methods. Compared to existing methods, the proposed methods achieved the highest average classification accuracy of 88.86, 83.40, 81.53, and 80.83 in datasets 1–4, respectively. The feature extraction time of CSP-FB is the shortest. The experimental results show that the proposed methods can effectively improve the classification accuracy and reduce the feature extraction time. With comprehensive consideration of classification accuracy and feature extraction time, CSP-FB+LOG has the best performance and can be used for the real-time BCI system.

Human action recognition has gathered significant attention in recent years due to its high demand in various application domains. In this work, we propose a novel codebook generation and hybrid encoding scheme for classification of action videos. The proposed scheme develops a discriminative codebook and a hybrid feature vector by encoding the features extracted from CNNs (convolutional neural networks). We explore different CNN architectures for extracting spatio-temporal features. We employ an agglomerative clustering approach for codebook generation, which intends to combine the advantages of global and class-specific codebooks. We propose a Residual Vector of Locally Aggregated Descriptors (R-VLAD) and fuse it with locality-based coding to form a hybrid feature vector. It provides a compact representation along with high order statistics. We evaluated our work on two publicly available standard benchmark datasets HMDB-51 and UCF-101. The proposed method achieves 72.6% and 96.2% on HMDB51 and UCF101, respectively. We conclude that the proposed scheme is able to boost recognition accuracy for human action recognition.

Multi-view human action recognition has gained a lot of attention in recent years for its superior performance as compared to single view recognition. In this paper, we propose a new framework for the real-time realization of human action recognition in distributed camera networks (DCNs). We first present a new feature descriptor (Mltp-hist) that is tolerant to illumination change, robust in homogeneous region and computationally efficient. Taking advantage of the proposed Mltp-hist, the noninformative 3-D patches generated from the background can be further removed automatically that effectively highlights the foreground patches. Next, a new feature representation method based on sparse coding is presented to generate the histogram representation of local videos to be transmitted to the base station for classification. Due to the sparse representation of extracted features, the approximation error is reduced. Finally, at the base station, a probability model is produced to fuse the information from various views and a class label is assigned accordingly. Compared to the existing algorithms, the proposed framework has three advantages while having less requirements on memory and bandwidth consumption: 1) no preprocessing is required; 2) communication among cameras is unnecessary; and 3) positions and orientations of cameras do not need to be fixed. We further evaluate the proposed framework on the most popular multi-view action dataset IXMAS. Experimental results indicate that our proposed framework repeatedly achieves state-of-the-art results when various numbers of views are tested. In addition, our approach is tolerant to the various combination of views and benefit from introducing more views at the testing stage. Especially, our results are still satisfactory even when large misalignment exists between the training and testing samples.
