Towards fast, view-invariant human action recognition

In this paper, we propose a fast method to recognize human actions which accounts for intra-class variability in the way an action is performed. We propose the use of a low dimensional feature vector which consists of (a) the projections of the width profile of the actor on to an ldquoaction basisrdquo and (b) simple spatio-temporal features. The action basis is built using eigenanalysis of walking sequences of different people. Given the...
