Vintimilla Teodiano F.Bastos TI A predictive model for human activity recognition by observing actions and context BT Advanced Concepts for Intelligent Vision Systems, Proceedings of 16th International Conference, ACIVS 2015 PY 2015 BP 323 EP 333 VL 9386 DI 10.1007/978-3-319-25903-1_28 AB This paper presents a novel model to estimate human activities — a human activity is defined by a set of human actions. The proposed approach is based on the usage of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) and Bayesian inference through the continuous monitoring of human actions and its surrounding environment. In the current work human activities are inferred considering not only visual analysis but also additional resources; external sources of information, such as context information, are incorporated to contribute to the activity estimation. The novelty of the proposed approach lies in the way the information is encoded, so that it can be later associated according to a predefined semantic structure. Hence, a pattern representing a given activity can be defined by a set of actions, plus contextual information or other kind of information that could be relevant to describe the activity. Experimental results with real data are provided showing the validity of the proposed approach. ER
