Abstract

A new method for action modelling is proposed, which combines the trajectory beam obtained by semi-dense point tracking and a local binary trend description inspired from the Local Binary Patterns (LBP). The semi dense trajectory approach represents a good trade-off between reliability and density of the motion field, whereas the LBP component allows to capture relevant elementary motion elements along each trajectory, which are encoded into mixed descriptors called Motion Trend Patterns (MTP). The combination of those two fast operators allows a real-time, on line computation of the action descriptors, composed of space-time blockwise histograms of MTP values, which are classified using a fast SVM classifier. An encoding scheme is proposed and compared with the state-of-the-art through an evaluation performed on two academic action video datasets.
