With the increasing availability of wearable devices, research on egocentric
activity recognition has received much attention recently. In this paper, we
build a Multimodal Egocentric Activity dataset which includes egocentric videos
and sensor data of 20 fine-grained and diverse activity categories. We present
a novel strategy to extract temporal trajectory-like features from sensor data.
We propose to apply the Fisher Kernel framework to fuse video and temporal
enhanced sensor features. Experiment results show that with careful design of
feature extraction and fusion algorithm, sensor data can enhance
information-rich video data. We make publicly available the Multimodal
Egocentric Activity dataset to facilitate future research.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, ICASSP 2016 accepte
