An Enhancement of Deep Positional Attention-Based Human Action Recognition by Using Geometric Positional Features

Received Date:20 February 2023, Accepted Date:20 June 2023, Published Date:03 August 2023

Abstract

Objective: To learn different geometric features of body joints from video frames, as well as trajectory point coordinates, for Human Activity Recognition (HAR). Methods: Joints and Trajectory-pooled 3D-Deep Geometric Positional Attention-based Hierarchical Bidirectional Recurrent convolutional Descriptors (JTDGPAHBRD)-based HAR framework is proposed. This framework considers the skeleton graph to extract geometric features such as joints, edges, and surfaces, along with the trajectory point coordinates. A new 3D-deep convolutional network with View Conversion (VC) and Temporal Dropout (TD) layers is designed that uses a Positional Attention-based Hierarchical Bidirectional Recurrent Neural Network (PAHBRNN) to learn more discriminatory high-level features. Then, a Fully Connected Layer (FCL) is applied to get the Video Descriptor (VD) of a particular frame. Moreover, the obtained VD is classified by the Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier to recognize various kinds of human activities. Findings: The test findings show that the JTDGPAHBRD framework using the Penn Action database achieves a recognition rate of 99.7% compared to the existing HAR frameworks. Novelty: This framework has significantly improved the recognition of human activities. Thus, it represents a promising framework for the HAR.

Keywords: Human activity recognition; JTDPAHBRD; Geometric features; View conversion; Temporal dropout; SVM
