Multi-Action Recognition via Stochastic Modelling of Optical Flow and Gradients
In this paper we propose a novel approach to multi-action recognition that
performs joint segmentation and classification. This approach models each
action using a Gaussian mixture using robust low-dimensional action features.
Segmentation is achieved by performing classification on overlapping temporal
windows, which are then merged to produce the final result. This approach is
considerably less complicated than previous methods which use dynamic
programming or computationally expensive hidden Markov models (HMMs). Initial
experiments on a stitched version of the KTH dataset show that the proposed
approach achieves an accuracy of 78.3%, outperforming a recent HMM-based
approach which obtained 71.2%
