Abstract

The convolutional neural networks had enormous success in the classification of images, and networks such as “AlexNet”, “VGG”, “Inception” and “ResNet” were references for this purpose. This way, it is intended to verify which networks were more successful in the “Imagenet” dataset challenge. Then, it was verified their success when classifying videos through the “Kinetics400” and “UCF101” datasets and, finally, to conclude if the success in the classification of images can also evidence a possible success in the classification of videos. To this end, the margin of error of the networks mentioned above is compared. The two networks with the lowest margin of error are selected, and these networks are studied to classify videos. Thus, if these networks are successful, they can receive input videos from sensors and accurately identify the human activity present in the video. It should be noted that the networks “ResNet” and “Inception” had very satisfactory success rates, above 70%, showing success in the approach adopted.
