Hierarchical - HMM Based Recognition of Human Activity ∗

چکیده
In this paper, we present a method for recognition of human activity as a series of actions from an image sequence. The difficulty with the problem is that there is a chicken-egg dilemma that each action needs to be extracted in advance for its recognition but the precise extraction is only possible after the action is correctly identified. In order to solve this dilemma, we use as many models as actions of our interest, and test each model against a given sequence to find a matched model for each action occurring in the sequence. For each action, a model is designed so as to represent any activity containing the action. The hierarchical hidden Markov model (HHMM) is employed to represent the models, in which each model is composed of a submodel of the target action and submodels which can represent any action, and they are connected appropriately. Several experimental results are shown. key words: motion trajectory, human activity, hierarchical hidden Markov model, image sequences

We address in this paper an improved medical monitoring system through an automatic recognition of human activity in Intensive Care Units (ICUs). A multi camera vision system approach is proposed to collect video sequence for automatic analysis and interpretation of the scene. The latter is performed using Hidden Markov Model (HMM) with explicit state duration combine at the management of the h...

In this paper, a new Hidden Markov Model (HMM)-based face recognition system is proposed. As a novel point despite of five-state HMM used in pervious researches, we used 7-state HMM to cover more details. Indeed we add two new face regions, eyebrows and chin, to the model. As another novel point, we used a small number of quantized Singular Values Decomposition (SVD) coefficients as feature...
متن کاملActivity recognition using a supervised non-parametric hierarchical HMM
The problem of classifying human activities occurring in depth image sequences is addressed. The 3D joint positions of a human skeleton and the local depth image pattern around these joint positions define the features. A two level hierarchical Hidden Markov Model (H-HMM), with independent Markov chains for the joint positions and depth image pattern, is used to model the features. The states c...

Sign language recognition has spawned more and more interest in human–computer interaction society. The major challenge that SLR recognition faces now is developing methods that will scale well with increasing vocabulary size with a limited set of training data for the signer independent application. The automatic SLR based on hidden Markov models (HMMs) is very sensitive to gesture's shape inf...
