Human action analyses and recognition are challenging problems due to
large variations in human motion and appearance, camera viewpoint and
environment settings. The field of action and activity representation
and recognition is relatively old, yet not well-understood by the
students and research community. Some important but common motion
recognition problems are even now unsolved properly by the computer
vision community. However, in the last decade, a number of good
approaches are proposed and evaluated subsequently by many researchers.
Among those methods, some methods get significant attention from many
researchers in the computer vision field due to their better robustness
and performance. This book will cover gap of information and materials
on comprehensive outlook - through various strategies from the scratch
to the state-of-the-art on computer vision regarding action recognition
approaches. This book will target the students and researchers who have
knowledge on image processing at a basic level and would like to explore
more on this area and do research. The step by step methodologies will
encourage one to move forward for a comprehensive knowledge on computer
vision for recognizing various human actions.
