In this work, we propose an efficient and effective method to recognize human actions based on the estimated 3D positions of skeletal joints in temporal sequences of depth maps. First, the body skeleton is decomposed in a set of kinematic chains, and the position of each joint is expressed in a locally defined reference system, which makes the coordinates invariant to body translations and rotations. A multi-part bag-of-poses approach is then defined, which permits the separate alignment of body parts through a nearest-neighbor classification. Experiments conducted on the MSR Daily Activity dataset show promising results.

Abstract

In this work, we propose an efficient and effective method to recognize human actions based on the estimated 3D positions of skeletal joints in temporal sequences of depth maps. First, the body skeleton is decomposed in a set of kinematic chains, and the position of each joint is expressed in a locally defined reference system, which makes the coordinates invariant to body translations and rotations. A multi-part bag-of-poses approach is then defined, which permits the separate alignment of body parts through a nearest-neighbor classification. Experiments conducted on the MSR Daily Activity dataset show promising results.
