A Deep Learning Approach for Human Action Recognition using Skeletal Information
GeNeDis 2018, Toronto, Canada, 25-28 October 2018
ABSTRACT
In this paper we present an approach towards human action detection for activities of daily living (ADLs) that uses a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). The network is trained on Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) images that result from raw sensor readings, i.e., each human action is ultimately described by an image. More specifically, we work using 3D skeletal positions of human joints, which originate from processing of raw RGB sequences enhanced by depth information. The motion of each joint may be described by a combination of 3 1D signals, representing its coefficients into a 3D Euclidean space. All such signals from a set of human joints are concatenated to form an image, which is then transformed by DFT and is used for training and evaluation of a CNN. We evaluate our approach using a publicly available challenging dataset of human actions that may involve one or more body parts simultaneously and for two sets of actions which resemble to common ADLs.
