Recognition of human actions

Abstract

Human beings with human eyes have the ability to observe, recognize and even understand human actions and other movements. It is pretty easy for a normal person to realize that a group of people is playing games or a girl is smiling with him. However, for a computer, it seems not that easy. One of the goals of Computer Vision researchers is to imitate the ability of human eyes; therefore, they are putting more and more efforts on analysis of motion and recognition of action.
