Book Recognition of Humans and Their Activities Using Video

Download or read book Recognition of Humans and Their Activities Using Video written by Rama Chellappa and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recognition of humans and their activities from video sequences is currently a very active area of research because of its applications in video surveillance, design of realistic entertainment systems, multimedia communications, and medical diagnosis. In this lecture, we discuss the use of face and gait signatures for human identification and recognition of human activities from video sequences. We survey existing work and describe some of the more well-known methods in these areas. We also describe our own research and outline future possibilities. In the area of face recognition, we start with the traditional methods for image-based analysis and then describe some of the more recent developments related to the use of video sequences, 3D models, and techniques for representing variations of illumination. We note that the main challenge facing researchers in this area is the development of recognition strategies that are robust to changes due to pose, illumination, disguise, and aging. Gait recognition is a more recent area of research in video understanding, although it has been studied for a long time in psychophysics and kinesiology. The goal for video scientists working in this area is to automatically extract the parameters for representation of human gait. We describe some of the techniques that have been developed for this purpose, most of which are appearance based. We also highlight the challenges involved in dealing with changes in viewpoint and propose methods based on image synthesis, visual hull, and 3D models. In the domain of human activity recognition, we present an extensive survey of various methods that have been developed in different disciplines like artificial intelligence, image processing, pattern recognition, and computer vision. We then outline our method for modeling complex activities using 2D and 3D deformable shape theory. The wide application of automatic human identification and activity recognition methods will require the fusion of different modalities like face and gait, dealing with the problems of pose and illumination variations, and accurate computation of 3D models. The last chapter of this lecture deals with these areas of future research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a systematic, comprehensive, and timely review on V-HAR, and it covers the related tasks, cutting-edge technologies, and applications of V-HAR, especially the deep learning-based approaches. The field of Human Activity Recognition (HAR) has become one of the trendiest research topics due to the availability of various sensors, live streaming of data and the advancement in computer vision, machine learning, etc. HAR can be extensively used in many scenarios, for example, medical diagnosis, video surveillance, public governance, also in human–machine interaction applications. In HAR, various human activities such as walking, running, sitting, sleeping, standing, showering, cooking, driving, abnormal activities, etc., are recognized. The data can be collected from wearable sensors or accelerometer or through video frames or images; among all the sensors, vision-based sensors are now the most widely used sensors due to their low-cost, high-quality, and unintrusive characteristics. Therefore, vision-based human activity recognition (V-HAR) is the most important and commonly used category among all HAR technologies. The addressed topics include hand gestures, head pose, body activity, eye gaze, attention modeling, etc. The latest advancements and the commonly used benchmark are given. Furthermore, this book also discusses the future directions and recommendations for the new researchers.

Book Human Activity Recognition  HAR  in Healthcare

Download or read book Human Activity Recognition HAR in Healthcare written by Luigi Bibbò and published by . This book was released on 2024-03-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human activity recognition (HAR) is determined through the acquisition of images or kinematic states, which are analyzed by prediction models. The goal of these systems is to correctly classify the data into one of the following categories: gestures, elementary actions that are components of complex activities, human-object or human-human interactions, and group actions. HAR plays a fundamental role in health monitoring systems through the acquisition of information about the health and psychological statuses of subjects. The development of new medical and assistive technologies has created environmental conditions for the independent living among the elderly and has contributed to the improvement of their quality of life. In this Special Issue, we present the constant development of new data, applications and analysis techniques.
