Abstract

Abstract: Motion description is an example of the high level video processing. It attracts increasing interest in the computer vision community due to its wide spectrum of applications. In such application as multimedia database systems, motion descriptors act as a high level query tool. In this paper, we propose a periodic motion detection and description algorithm. We demonstrate that the descriptor extracted by the algorithmcan characterise the human running behaviour. It can also serve as a basis for the classification of the human running activity. Experimental results based on Barcelona Olympic Games image sequences show the benefits of the proposed algorithm.
