A differential geometric approach to representing the human actions
This paper presents a novel representation for human actions which encodes the variations in the shape and motion of the performing actor. When an actor performs an action, at eac...

Towards Behavioral Consistency in Animated Agents
: We are seeking to outline a framework to create embodied agents with consistency both in terms of human actions and communications in general and individual humans in particular....

View-Invariant Representation and Learning of Human Action
Automatically understanding human actions from video sequences is a very challenging problem. This involves the extraction of relevant visual information from a video sequence, re...

Intent Recognition for Human-Robot Interaction
Effective human-robot cooperation requires robotic devices that understand human goals and intentions. We frame the problem of intent recognition as one of tracking and predicting...

RBM-Based Silhouette Encoding for Human Action Modelling
—In this paper we evaluate the use of Restricted Bolzmann Machines (RBM) in the context of learning and recognizing human actions. The features used as basis are binary silhouett...

Detecting Human Action in Active Video
We propose a novel scheme to detect human actions in active video. Active videos such as movies or sports broadcasting are taken purposively by “clever” photographers. They ar...

Human Action Recognition Using Distribution of Oriented Rectangular Patches
We describe a “bag-of-rectangles” method for representing and recognizing human actions in videos. In this method, each human pose in an action sequence is represented by orien...
