Abstract

Human action recognition in surveillance has become a hot topic in computer vision. In this paper, we develope a new method to recognize human action using motion information in video. Video sequence is compressed along time axis into a Motion Impression Image (MII), which is combined with two types of impression images from different views. One is a Period Impression Image (PII) by exploring the characteristics of the motion frequency. The other is an Optical Flow Impression Image (OFII) obtained from the analysis of motion mode. The proposed MII is a compact and time-invariant representation. Furthermore, it is simple and efficient to implement. After quantizing the combined MIIs, we feed them into a spatial pyramid matching kernel (SPMK) based classifier to recognize various human actions. At last, experiments on a known benchmark dataset demonstrate the better performance of the proposed approach against the state-of-the-art algorithms.
