Abstract

A novel method using the combination of spatio-temporal interest points and spatio-temporal shape contexts for human action description and retrieval is proposed. Both the feature points detection and description are invariant to geometric and photometric changes and intra-class variations. The experimental results show that the proposed descriptor is more effective than brightness gradients based motion descriptors for classifying and retrieving challenging human actions.
