Multimodal human action recognition with depth sensors has drawn wide attention, due to its potential applications such as health-care monitoring, smart buildings/home, intelligent transportation, and security surveillance. As one of the obstacles of robust action recognition, sub-actions sharing, especially among similar action categories, makes human action recognition more challenging. This paper proposes a segmental architecture to exploit the relations of sub-actions, jointly with heterogeneous information fusion and Class-privacy Preserved Collaborative Representation (CPPCR) for multi-modal human action recognition. Specifically, a segmental architecture is proposed based on the normalized action motion energy. It models long-range temporal structure over video sequences to better distinguish the similar actions bearing sub-action sharing phenomenon. The sub-action based depth motion and skeleton features are then extracted and fused. Moreover, by introducing within-class local consistency into Collaborative Representation (CR) coding, CPPCR is proposed to address the challenging sub-action sharing phenomenon, learning the high-level discriminative representation. Experiments on four datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
