In this paper, an innovative approach for human activity relies on affine-invariant shape descriptors and motion flow is proposed. The first phase of this approach is to employ the modelling background that uses an adaptive Gaussian mixture to distinguish moving foregrounds from their moving cast shadows. Accordingly, the extracted features are derived from 3D spatio-temporal action volume like...
