Deep Learning for Video Based Human Activity Recognition: Review and Recent Developments

Abstract

AbstractThe enormous applicability of advanced human-computer interaction technology in daily life has facilitated the interest of the researchers toward the development of more intelligent autonomous systems. These human-computer interaction systems can be successful in real-life by addressing the gap among the existing techniques. This research work focuses on one of the prominent human-computer interaction applications of human activity recognition. Human activity recognition (HAR) is the process to detect human gestures, actions, and different types of interactions. The HAR process requires competent knowledge about the day to day human activities and advanced technology to recognize their activities. The conventional pattern recognition techniques are significant to recognize the human activities using the machine learning techniques but only within the controlled environment for the recognition of limited actions. In recent years, deep learning techniques are developed that can learn the deep attributes of the problem application and determine the outcomes with promising performance. The present paper has presented a systematic review of the deep learning models for video-based human activity recognition. The work describes the recent developments in the field for the analysis of different models. The paper also discusses the process of human activity recognition and the eminent datasets available for experimentation. The summarization of the work is illustrated with the future directions in the field.KeywordsDeep learningHuman computer interactionHuman activity recognitionVision based human activity recognitionVideo surveillanceVideo dataset
