Abstract: Recognizing human action is attractive research topic in computer vision since it plays an important role on the applications such as human-computer interaction, intelligent surveillance, human actions retrieval system, health care, smart home, robotics and so on. The availability the low-cost Microsoft Kinect sensor, which can capture real-time high-resolution RGB and visual depth information, has opened an opportunity to significantly increase the capabilities of many automated vision based recognition tasks. In this paper, we propose new framework for action recognition in RGB-D video. We extract spatiotemporal features from RGB-D data that capture both visual, shape and motion information. Moreover, the segmentation technique is applied to present the temporal structure of action. Firstly, we use STIP to detect interest points both of RGB and depth channels. Secondly, we apply HOG3D descriptor for RGB channel and 3DS-HONV descriptor for depth channel. In addition, we also extract HOF2.5D from fusing RGB and Depth to capture human’s motion. Thirdly, we divide the video into segments and apply GMM to create feature vectors for each segment. So, we have three feature vectors (HOG3D, 3DS-HONV, and HOF2.5D) that represent for each segment. Next, the max pooling technique is applied to create a final vector for each descriptor. Then, we concatenate the feature vectors from the previous step into the final vector for action representation. Lastly, we use SVM method for classification step. We evaluated our proposed method on three benchmark datasets to demonstrate generalizability. And, the experimental results shown to be more accurate for action recognition compared to the previous works. We obtain overall accuracies of 93.5%, 99.16% and 89.38% with our proposed method on the UTKinect-Action, 3D Action Pairs and MSR-Daily Activity 3D dataset, respectively. These results show that our method is feasible and superior performance over the-state-of-the-art methods on these datasets.
