Abstract

Summary: Classifying human actions from still images or video sequences is a demanding task owing to issues, like lighting, backdrop clutter, variations in scale, partial occlusion, viewpoint, and appearance. A lot of appliances, together with video systems, human–computer interfaces, and surveillance necessitate a compound action recognition system. Here, the proposed system develops a novel scheme for HAR. Initially, filtering as well as background subtraction is done during preprocessing. Then, the features including local binary pattern (LBP), bag of the virtual word (BOW), and the proposed local spatio‐temporal features are extracted. Then, in the recognition phase, an ensemble classification model is introduced that includes Recurrent Neural networks (RNN 1 and RNN 2) and Multi‐Layer Perceptron (MLP 1 and MLP 2). The features are classified using RNN 1 and RNN 2, and the outputs from RNN 1 and RNN 2 are further classified using MLP 1 and MLP 2, respectively. Finally, the outputs attained from MLP 1 and MLP 2 are averaged and the final classified output is obtained. At last, the superiority of the developed approach is proved on varied measures.
