Human activity recognition using deep learning approaches and single frame cnn and convolutional lstm
Human activity recognition is one of the most important tasks in computer vision and has proved useful in different fields such as healthcare, sports training and security. There are a number of approaches that have been explored to solve this task, some of them involving sensor data, and some involving video data. In this paper, we aim to explore two deep learning-based approaches, namely single frame Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and convolutional Long Short-Term Memory to recognise human actions from videos. Using a convolutional neural networks-based method is advantageous as CNNs can extract features automatically and Long Short-Term Memory networks are great when it comes to working on sequence data such as video. The two models were trained and evaluated on a benchmark action recognition dataset, UCF50, and another dataset that was created for the experimentation. Though both models exhibit good accuracies, the single frame CNN model outperforms the Convolutional LSTM model by having an accuracy of 99.8% with the UCF50 dataset.
