Abstract

This paper proposes an approach that uses direction and magnitude models to perform human action recognition from videos captured using monocular cameras. A mixture distribution is computed over the motion orientations and magnitudes of optical flow vectors at each spatial location of the video sequence. This mixture is estimated using an online k-means clustering algorithm. Thus, a sequence model which is composed of a direction model and a magnitude model is created by circular and non-circular clustering. Human actions are recognized via a metric based on the Bhattacharyya distance that compares the model of a query sequence with the models created from the training sequences. The proposed approach is validated using two public datasets in both indoor and outdoor environments with low and high resolution videos.
