  1. Chaotic Invariants for Human Action Recognition Ali, Basharat, & Shah, ICCV 2007

  2. Premise: Moving reference joints carry information about human actions

  3. Assumption: Human actions are generated by a nonlinear dynamical system • Dynamical: the system’s behaviour changes over time • Nonlinear: the rule(s) describing this change cannot be written as a linear function • How to capture the nonlinear physics of human actions?

  4. Assumption: Human actions are generated by a nonlinear dynamical system • Movement trajectories of reference joints only provide a low-dimensional observation of the human action system • But, they still carry information about the entire (nonlinear) system

  5. Approach: Chaotic Invariants • Reconstruct the dynamical behaviour of the human action system based on movement trajectories of reference joints • delay-embedding theorem (Takens, 1981) • Characterize this reconstructed dynamical behaviour with chaotic invariants • Action recognition based on chaotic invariants

  6. Example of application of delay-embedding theorem: • Lorenz system:

  7. Example of application of delay-embedding theorem: strange attractor: • Lorenz system: • plotting x, x - delay, x -2*delay

  8. Appl. of delay-embedding theorem to movements of reference joints:

  9. Characterisation of strange attractor with chaotic invariants • Maximum lyapunov exponent:Quantifies the divergence of the strange attractor • Correlation integral:Quantifies the density of points in the phase space (using a threshold for nearby points) • Correlation dimension:Quantifies the sensitivity of the correlation integral for the applied threshold

  10. 9 Different Actions

  11. 3 time series (x, y, and z) for 5 reference joints

  12. Results of activity classification using chaotic invariants:
