Abstract

This paper presents a novel feature descriptor for multiview human action recognition. This descriptor employs the region-based features extracted from the human silhouette. To achieve this, the human silhouette is divided into regions in a radial fashion with the interval of a certain degree, and then region-based geometrical and Hu-moments features are obtained from each radial bin to articulate the feature descriptor. A multiclass support vector machine classifier is used for action classification. The proposed approach is quite simple and achieves state-of-the-art results without compromising the efficiency of the recognition process. Our contribution is two-fold. Firstly, our approach achieves high recognition accuracy with simple silhouette-based representation. Secondly, the average testing time for our approach is 34 frames per second, which is much higher than the existing methods and shows its suitability for real-time applications. The extensive experiments on a well-known multiview IXMAS (INRIA Xmas Motion Acquisition Sequences) dataset confirmed the superior performance of our method as compared to similar state-of-the-art methods
