Abstract

We present a novel learning algorithm for Human action recognition and categorization. Our purpose here is to develop a Riemannian Averaged Fixed-Point estimation algorithm (RA-FP) for learning the multivariate generalized Gaussian mixture model’s parameters (MGGMM). Experiments in a large datasets of human action images have shown the merits of our approach.
