Human Action Recognition is a key research direction and also a trending topic in several fields like machine learning, computer vision and other fields. The main objective of this research is to recognize the human action in image of video. However, the existing approaches have many limitations like low recognition accuracy and non-robustness. Hence, this paper focused to develop a novel and robust Human Action Recognition framework. In this framework, we proposed a new feature extraction technique based on the Gabor Transform and Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform. These two feature extraction techniques helps in the extraction of perfect discriminative features by which the actions present in the image or video are correctly recognized. Later, the proposed framework accomplished the Support Vector Machine algorithm as a classifier. Simulation experiments are conducted over two standard datasets such as KTH and Weizmann. Experimental results reveal that the proposed framework achieves better performance compared to state-of-art recognition methods.

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.

Human action recognition plays a significant part in the research community due to its emerging applications. A variety of approaches have been proposed to resolve this problem, however, several issues still need to be addressed. In action recognition, effectively extracting and aggregating the spatial-temporal information plays a vital role to describe a video. In this research, we propose a novel approach to recognize human actions by considering both deep spatial features and handcrafted spatiotemporal features. Firstly, we extract the deep spatial features by employing a state-of-the-art deep convolutional network, namely Inception-Resnet-v2. Secondly, we introduce a novel handcrafted feature descriptor, namely Weber’s law based Volume Local Gradient Ternary Pattern (WVLGTP), which brings out the spatiotemporal features. It also considers the shape information by using gradient operation. Furthermore, Weber’s law based threshold value and the ternary pattern based on an adaptive local threshold is presented to effectively handle the noisy center pixel value. Besides, a multi-resolution approach for WVLGTP based on an averaging scheme is also presented. Afterward, both these extracted features are concatenated and feed to the Support Vector Machine to perform the classification. Lastly, the extensive experimental analysis shows that our proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art approaches in terms of accuracy.

The kernel function has been successfully utilized in the extreme learning machine (ELM) that provides a stabilized and generalized performance and greatly reduces the computational complexity. However, the selection and optimization of the parameters constituting the most common kernel functions are tedious and time-consuming. In this study, a set of new Hermit kernel functions derived from the generalized Hermit polynomials has been proposed. The significant contributions of the proposed kernel include only one parameter selected from a small set of natural numbers; thus, the parameter optimization is greatly facilitated and excessive structural information of the sample data is retained. Consequently, the new kernel functions can be used as optimal alternatives to other common kernel functions for ELM at a rapid learning speed. The experimental results showed that the proposed kernel ELM method tends to have similar or better robustness and generalized performance at a faster learning speed than the other common kernel ELM and support vector machine methods. Consequently, when applied to human action recognition by depth video sequence, the method also achieves excellent performance, demonstrating its time-based advantage on the video image data.

Aimed at the problems of high redundancy of trajectory and susceptibility to background interference in traditional dense trajectory behavior recognition methods, a human action recognition method based on foreground trajectory and motion difference descriptors is proposed. First, the motion magnitude of each frame is estimated by optical flow, and the foreground region is determined according to each motion magnitude of the pixels; the trajectories are only extracted from behavior-related foreground regions. Second, in order to better describe the relative temporal information between different actions, a motion difference descriptor is introduced to describe the foreground trajectory, and the direction histogram of the motion difference is constructed by calculating the direction information of the motion difference per unit time of the trajectory point. Finally, a Fisher vector (FV) is used to encode histogram features to obtain video-level action features, and a support vector machine (SVM) is utilized to classify the action category. Experimental results show that this method can better extract the action-related trajectory, and it can improve the recognition accuracy by 7% compared to the traditional dense trajectory method.

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.
