Abstract

A novel human body action recognition method based on Kinect is proposed. Firstly, the key frame of the original data is extracted by using the key frame extraction technology based on quaternion. Secondly, the moving pose feature based on the motion information of each joint point is constituted for the skeleton information of each key frame. And, combined with key frame, online continuous action segmentation is implemented by using boundary detection method. Finally, the feature is encoded by Fisher vector and input to the linear SVM classifier to complete the action recognition. In the public dataset MSR Action3D and the dataset collected in this paper, the experiments show that the proposed method achieves a good recognition effect.
