Abstract

With the development of Kinect sensor, action recognition based on human skeleton becomes a prosperous research field. In this paper, an improved method is proposed to select a few inconsecutive, discriminative and ordinal frames (named Improved Key Poses) to represent a human skeleton action. The main contributions of the proposed method are summarized as follow. First, a novel Key Poses Mining method is presented to keep time order of each frame in action video. Second, we selected a new feature which could reflect the micro-motion of specific actions and increase the recognition accuracy. The proposed method is evaluated on three benchmark datasets: MSR Action3D dataset, UTKinect Action dataset and Florence 3D Action dataset. The experiment results show that the proposed approach outperforms than some state-of-the-art methods.
