RGBD Human Action Recognition using Multi-Features Combination and K-Nearest Neighbors Classification

Author 1: Rawya Al-Akam Author 2: Dietrich Paulus

In this paper, we present a novel system to analyze human body motions for action recognition task from two sets of features using RGBD videos. The Bag-of-Features approach is used for recognizing human action by extracting local spatialtemporal features and shape invariant features from all video frames. These feature vectors… Read full abstract & cite →

Aggregation Operator for Assignment of Resources in Distributed Systems

Author 1: David L la Red Martínez

In distributed processing systems it is often necessary to coordinate the allocation of shared resources that should be assigned to processes in the modality of mutual exclusion; in such cases, the order in which the shared resources will be assigned to processes that require them must be decided; in this… Read full abstract & cite →
