Semantic human activity recognition: A literature review

作者:

Highlights:

• We have conducted a detailed review on recent action recognition frameworks based on semantic information for the first time.

• A semantic space is introduced that mainly includes pose, poselet, object/scene context, and attributes.

• We discuss that semantic descriptions capture meaningful information and are robust to visual variations.

• We show that semantic methods outperform non-semantic methods in most cases with comparing their performances.

• We present some directions to motivate future researchers to devote more attention to semantic information.
