Abstract
AbstractIn this paper, we propose a new spatio-temporal descriptor called ST-SURF. The latter is based on a novel combination between the speed up robust feature (SURF) and the optical flow. The Hessian detector is employed to find all interest points. To reduce the computation time, we propose a new methodology for video segmentation into Frame Packets (FPs), based on the interest points trajectory tracking. We consider only moving interest points descriptors to generate robust and powerful discriminative codebook based on K-mean clustering. We use a standard bag-of-visual-words Support Vector Machine (SVM) approach for action recognition. For the purpose of evaluation, the experimentations are carried out on KTH and UCF sports Datasets. It is demonstrated that the designed ST-SURF shows promising results. In fact, on KTH Dataset, the proposed method achieves an accuracy of 88.2% which is equivalent to the state-of-the-art. On the more realistic UCF sports Dataset, our method surpasses the performance of the best results of space-time descriptors/Hessian detector with 80.7%.KeywordsAction recognitionSURFoptical flowspatio-tempral featuregroup of interest pointsframes packets
