Influence of Video Quality on Multi-view Activity Recognition

Abstract

This paper presents a study that evaluates the performance of multi-view human activity recognition with videos having degraded quality. For the activity recognition models, a support vector machine-based approach using spatiotemporal features and a deep learning-based approach using convolutional and recurrent layers are built. We investigate the recognition performance of the two models with respect to the bitrate of the compressed videos and the peak signal-to-noise ratio of the videos corrupted by additive Gaussian random noise. We analyze the robustness of the models for the degraded videos.
