Abstract
Activity understanding plays an essential role in video content analysis and remains a challenging open problem. Most of previous research is limited due to the use of excessively localized features without sufficiently encapsulating the interaction context or focus on simply discriminative models but totally ignoring the interaction patterns. In this chapter, a new approach is proposed to recognize human group activities. Firstly, the authors designed a new quaternion descriptor to describe the interactive insight of activities regarding the appearance, dynamic, causality, and feedback, respectively. The designed descriptor along with the conventional velocity and position are capable of delineating the individual and pairwise interactions in the activities. Secondly, considering both activity category and interaction variety, the authors propose an extended pLSA (probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis) model with two hidden variables. This extended probabilistic graphic paradigm constructed on the quaternion descriptors facilitates the effective inference of activity categories as well as the exploration of activity interaction patterns. The extensive experiments on realistic movie and human group activity datasets validate that the multilevel features are effective for activity interaction representation and demonstrate that the graphic model is a promising paradigm for activity recognition.
