Taking fully into consideration the fact that one human action can be intuitively considered as a sequence of key poses and atomic motions in a particular order, a human action recognition method using multi-layer codebooks of key poses and atomic motions is proposed in this paper. Inspired by the dynamics models of human joints, normalized relative orientations are computed as features for each limb of human body. In order to extract key poses and atomic motions precisely, feature sequences are segmented into pose feature segments and motion feature segments dynamically, based on the potential differences of feature sequences. Multi-layer codebooks of each human action are constructed with the key poses extracted from pose feature segments and the atomic motions extracted from motion feature segments associated with each two key poses. The multi-layer codebooks represent action patterns of each human action, which can be used to recognize human actions with the proposed pattern-matching method. Three classification methods are employed for action recognition based on the multi-layer codebooks. Two public action datasets, i.e., CAD-60 and MSRC-12 datasets, are used to demonstrate the advantages of the proposed method. The experimental results show that the proposed method can obtain a comparable or better performance compared with the state-of-the-art methods.
