Video-Based Human Action Detection Resources

Video-based human action detection has recently been demonstrated to be very useful in a wide range of applications including video surveillance, telemonitoring of patients and senior people, medical diagnosis and training, video content analysis and search, and intelligent human computer interaction.

As video camera sensors become less expensive, this approach is increasingly attractive since it is low cost and can be adapted to different video scenarios.

The September 2010 “Best of the Web” column of the IEEE Signal Processing Magazine reviews the general human action detection technology and useful online resources. For a quick start on video-based human action detection, the interested reader can check the column article by Junsong Yuan and Zicheng Liu.
