Definition

Recognizing human actions from previously seen viewpoints is relatively easy when compared with unseen viewpoints. View-invariant action recognition aims at recognizing human actions from unseen viewpoints.

Background

Human action recognition is an important problem in computer vision. It has a wide range of applications in surveillance, human-computer interaction, augmented reality, video indexing, and retrieval. The varying pattern of spatiotemporal appearance generated by human action is key for identifying the performed action. We have seen a lot of research exploring this dynamics of spatiotemporal appearance for learning a visual representation of human actions. However, most of the research in action recognition is focused on some common viewpoints [1], and these approaches do not...
