Action Recognition Algorithm based on 2D Human Pose Estimation Method

Abstract

This paper presents an action recognition method based on 2D human body node data in video. This method uses the pose estimation algorithm to detect the human body node data in each frame of video information. We get the two-dimensional coordinates and confidence data of the nodes, and optimize the arrangement of these data into a 3D array form similar to images. Finally, we use the classical two-dimensional convolutional neural network to carry out classification training. The test on UCF-101 data set shows that this method can indeed improve the accuracy of action recognition based on RGB information to a certain extent, and reduce the training cost.
