Abstract

We propose a novel human action recognition method based on the generative feature mapping over 3D human body joint sequences. The proposed method relies on Hidden Markov Model (HMM), but differs from the previous methods in the way of incorporating HMM and discriminative classifier, aiming to capture more discriminative information. Firstly, we use HMMs to model the joint sequences of human body. Then the Posterior Divergence is used to build feature mappings from the trained HMMs. The derived feature mappings map a variable-length joint sequence to a fixed-dimension feature vector which will be delivered to SVM for classification. We evaluate the proposed method and related methods on a large number of 3D joint sequences. The experimental results show its competitive performance, in comparison with other state-of-the-art methods.
