Title
Online Human Interaction Detection and Recognition With Multiple Cameras.
Abstract
We address the problem of detecting and recognizing online the occurrence of human interactions as seen by a network of multiple cameras. We represent interactions by forming temporal trajectories, coupling together the body motion of each individual and their proximity relationships with others, and also sound whenever available. Such trajectories are modeled with kernel state-space (KSS) models. Their advantage is being suitable for the online interaction detection, recognition, and also for fusing information from multiple cameras, while enabling a fast implementation based on online recursive updates. For recognition, in order to compare interaction trajectories in the space of KSS models, we design so-called pairwise kernels with a special symmetry. For detection, we exploit the geometry of linear operators in Hilbert space, and extend to KSS models the concept of parity space, originally defined for linear models. For fusion, we combine KSS models with kernel construction and multiview learning techniques. We extensively evaluate the approach on four single view publicly available data sets, and we also introduce, and will make public, a new challenging human interactions data set that we have collected using a network of three cameras. The results show that the approach holds promise to become an effective building block for the analysis of real-time human behavior from multiple cameras.
