Abstract

We present a novel approach for human activity recognition. The method uses dynamic texture descriptors to describe human movements in a spatiotemporal way. The same features are also used for human detection, which makes our whole approach computationally simple. Following recent trends in computer vision research, our method works on image data rather than silhouettes. We test our method on a publicly available dataset and compare our result to the state of the art methods.
