Abstract
A new technique for action clusteringbased human action representation on the basis of optical flow analysis and random sample consensus RANSAC method is proposed in this paper The apparent motion of the human subject with respect to the background is detected and localized by using optical flow analysis The next task is to characterize the action through the frequent movement of the optical flow points or interest points at different regions of the moving subject The RANSAC algorithm is used to filter out any unwanted interested points all around the scene and keep only those that are related to that particular subject’s motion From the remaining salient key interest points the area of the human body within the frame is estimated The rectangular area surrounding the human body is then segmented both horizontally and vertically Now the percentage of change of interest points in each horizontal and vertical segments from frame to frame is estimated Similar results are obtained for different persons performing the same action and the corresponding values are averaged for respective segments The matrix constructed by this strategy is used as a feature vector for that particular action Similar data are calculated for each block created at the intersections of the horizontal and vertical segments In addition to these the change in the position of the person along X and Yaxes is accumulated for an action and included in the feature vectors Afterward for the purpose of recognition using the extracted feature vectors a distancebased similarity measure and a support vector machinebased classifiers have been exploited Several combination of the feature vectors is examined From extensive experimentation upon benchmark motion databases it is found that the proposed method offers not only a very high degree of accuracy but also computational savings
