To obtain two-dimensional information for its behavioral recognition，conventional motion behavior recognition is mainly used the RGB image sequence captured by RGB camera. To improve the ability to detect short-duration fragments，current feature descriptors for RGB image sequences are employed to characterize human behavior，such as histogram of oriented gradient（HOG），histogram of optical flow （HOF），and a three-dimensional feature pyramid. Some researchers are focused on the feature that image depth is insensitive to ambient light since RGB images are oriented to behavior image sequences of objects in terms of two-dimensional information. The depth information of the image is coordinated with the features of RGB image to describe the related behavior. Human behavior recognition-relevant multi-modal method can be used to fuse depth data and skeleton data，which can improve the recognition rate of action effectively. Recent depth map is widely used in relevant to human behavior recognition. But，the collection of depth information data is required to be optimized because of time complexity of feature extraction and space complexity of feature storage. To resolve the problems，we develop an algorithm to optimize frames of the depth map and resource consumption. At the same time，a new representation of motion features is facilitated as well according to the motion information of the centroid. Method First，the temporal feature vector is used in terms of depth map sequence-extracted time sequence information. The centroid motion path relaxation algorithm is used to realize depth image de-duplication and de redundancy，and the skeleton map-extracted spatial structure feature vector from are spliced to form the spatio-temporal feature input. Next，spatial features are extracted in terms of the original skeleton points coordinates-spliced three-channel spatial feature map. Finally，the fusion probability of spatio-temporal features and spatial features is used for classification and recognition. Our centroid motion path relaxation algorithm is focused on the optimization of redundant information，the time complexity of feature extraction，and the space complexity of feature storage. For the skeleton data，the global feature of motion direction is proposed to fully reflect the integrity and coordination of limb movements. The extracted features are concatenated to obtain the spatio-temporal feature vector，and they can be fused and enhanced through the original coordinates of skeleton points-built three-channel spatial feature map. Its effectiveness is verified on the MSR-Action3D dataset. Result The experimental setting 1 demonstrate that it is 0. 826 0% higher than the depth motion map（DMM）-local binary pattern（LBP）algorithm，1. 015 2% higher than DMM-CRC（collaborative representation classifier），3. 450 1% higher than gradient local auto correlation（DMM-GLAC） algorithm，0. 605 8% higher than EigenJoint algorithm，and 0. 605 8% higher than space-time auto correlation of gradient （STACOG）algorithm is 10. 624 5% higher. After removing redundancy，the result of experimental setting 1 is 0. 126 1% higher as well. The cross-validation on experimental setting 2 show that the average classification and recognition rate in the three subsets is 95. 743 2%，2. 443 2% higher than multi-fused method，4. 763 2% higher than CovP3DJ method，0. 343 2% higher than D3D-LSTM method，and 0. 213 2% higher than joint subset selection method. For the overall data set，it is 2. 030 3% higher than low latency method，0. 240 3% higher than combination of deep models method，and 2. 340 3% higher than complex network coding method. The experimental setting 2 illustrates that the average classification recognition rate of cross-validation in three subsets is 95. 743 2%，and the classification recognition rate of the complete dataset is 93. 040 3%. Conclusion Our algorithm proposed can improve the recognition effect based on redundancy-optimized，and the featuresextracted have lower correlation mutually，which can improve the accuracy of classification recognition effectively.

Recognition of user-dependent and independent static hand gestures: Application to sign language

Static hand gesture (HG) recognition for both user-dependent and user-independent is a challenging problem, especially when there are changes in lighting, hand position, and background, the recognition becomes more complex. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a static hand gesture recognition based on a set of image descriptors: Gradient Local Auto-Correlation (GLAC), Gabor Wavelet Transform (GWT), and Fast Discrete Curve Transform (FDCT). Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used to reduce dimensionality. Tests were performed on three sign language datasets and one hand posture dataset using neural network classifiers, K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) classifiers, and combined classifiers. The results obtained were compared to the state of the art and show an accuracy of 100% for user-independent and 98.33% for user-dependent gestures, despite the difficult acquisition conditions of the datasets.

3D human action analysis and recognition through GLAC descriptor on 2D motion and static posture images

In this paper, we present an approach for identification of actions within depth action videos. First, we process the video to get motion history images (MHIs) and static history images (SHIs) corresponding to an action video based on the use of 3D Motion Trail Model (3DMTM). We then characterize the action video by extracting the Gradient Local Auto-Correlations (GLAC) features from the SHIs and the MHIs. The two sets of features i.e., GLAC features from MHIs and GLAC features from SHIs are concatenated to obtain a representation vector for action. Finally, we perform the classification on all the action samples by using the l2-regularized Collaborative Representation Classifier (l2-CRC) to recognize different human actions in an effective way. We perform evaluation of the proposed method on three action datasets, MSR-Action3D, DHA and UTD-MHAD. Through experimental results, we observe that the proposed method performs superior to other approaches.

Human Object Detection in Video Using Combination between Poselet and Gradient Local Auto-Correlation

Human detection is a challenging problem in video processing, which is applied in many fields: robot control, surveillance system, traffic tracking etc. Recently, there have been many publications involving this problem. However, most of methods still focus on pedestrian detection. In this paper, based on the poselet techniques, we introduce a new method to detect human in video under various environments. By combining poselet and gradient local auto-correlation classifier, we propose an efficient technique in human detection and reduce false detection. Also, focused on edge-based robust principal component analysis, a new foreground extraction method is developed to handle the ambiguous environment such as: leaf motion, illumination etc. By applying the proposed method, the small motion artifacts can be rejected. Experimental results show that our method has the high accuracy in various environments.

Human tracking based detection (HAR) in recent years has attracted much attention from the research community due to its challenges as well as wide application. In this paper, we investigate the use of Poselet detector verified by Gradient Local Auto Correlation (GLAC) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) for detecting human boundary. After that, each detected candidate is associated with a suitable tracker following the Probabilistic Data Association Filter(PDAF). For those tracker that has not been assigned, a tracking approach based block Particle Filter is in charge to maintain their existence. We conduct our experiments the open dataset PESTS 2009 and our self-recorded one CNU. We compare our method with Adaptive Boosting (Adaboost) particles filter tracking in the case of CNU dataset. The average accuracy of Blocked Particle Filter is 56.41% which outperforms that of Adaboost tracking with only 25.58%.
