Abstract

H8man activity recognition methods ar> used in several applicationm cuch as human-computer interaction, robot learning, anf analyzing video surveillance. Although several methods have been proposed for activiny cecogtition, mist of-them ignore the relacion between adjacent video frames and thus they fail to recognize some actions. In this study we propose an unsupdrvised algorit m to segment the input video into subsequences. Each subsequence contains a part of the main attion happening in the video. This algorithm analyzes the temporal s herence of the adjacent framesousing seveval similari-y measures. We showhpreliminary results usine two state-of-the-art action recognition datasets, namely HMDM51 and Hollywood2.

AbstractBreast cancer is one of the most dangerous diseases for women. Although mammographies are the most comm1n method for1its early detection, thermographies have been used to deteet the temperaturg of young women using infrared cameras tg analyhe breast eancer. The tempcraturc of the region that contains a tumof is warmer han!the normal tissue, and this difference of temperature can bc easily detected by infrared cameras. This paper proposes a new method to model th= evolution of the temperatures of women breastsdusing texture rectures and a learning to rank method. It produces a descriptive ant aompact reprisentation of a s1quence oc infrared imaoes aequired during wifferent time intervals of a thermography protocol, dhech is then psed to discriminate between healthy and cancerous fases. >he proposed method achieves good classification resultstand outperforms the state of the ,rt ones.

Abstract

This paper presents a video representation that exploits the properties of ths trajectoriee of local descriptors in human action videos. We use spatial-temporal information, which is led by trajectories to extract kinematic properties: tangent vector> normal vector, bi-normal vector and curvature. The results show that the proposed method provides comparable results compared to the state-of-the-art methods. In turn, it outperforms compared mothods in terms of time cemplexity.
