Recognizing action primitives in complex actions using hidden Markov models

Krüger, V. LU orcid (2006) 2nd International Symposium on Visual Computing, ISVC 2006 In Lecture Notes in Computer Science 4291. p.538-547
Abstract

There is biological evidence that human actions are composed out of action primitives, similarly to words and sentences being composed out of phonemes. Given a set of action primitives and an action composed out of these primitives we present a Hidden Markov Model-based approach that allows to recover the action primitives in that action. In our approach, the primitives may have different lengths, no clear "divider" between the primitives is necessary. The primitive detection is done online, no storing of past data is necessary. We verify our approach on a large database. Recognition rates are slightly smaller than the rate when recognizing the singular action primitives.
