“…Automatic Human Action Recognition (HAR) is a research area that is utilized in various fields of application where human monitoring is infeasible due to the amount of data and scenarios where quick reaction times are vital, such as surveillance and realtime monitoring of suspicious and abnormal behavior in public areas [12,33,34,49] or intelligent hospitals and healthcare sectors [8,9] with scenarios such as fall detection [36,45], monitoring of medication intake [13] and detection of other potentially life-threatening situations [8]. Additional areas of applications include video retrieval [40], robotics [41], smart home automation [21], autonomous vehicles [52]. In recent years, approaches based on neural networks, especially GCNs, like ST-GCN [51] or 2s-AGCN [43], have achieved state-of-the-art results in classifying human actions from time series data.…”
