A Survey on Human Activity Recognition from Videos

Understanding the activities of human from videos is demanding task in Computer Vision. Identifying the actions being accomplished by the human in the video sequence automatically and tagging their actions is the prime functionality of intelligent video systems. The goal of activity recognition is to identify the actions and objectives of one or more objects from a series of examination on the action of object and their environmental condition. The major applications of Human Activity Recognition varies from Content-based Video Analytics, Robotics, Human-Computer Interaction, Human fall detection, Ambient Intelligence, Visual Surveillance, Video Indexing etc... This paper collectively summarizes and deciphers the various methodologies, challenges and issues of Human Activity Recognition systems. Variants of Human Activity Recognition systems such as Human Object Interactions and Human-Human Interactions are also explored. Various benchmarking datasets and their properties are being explored. The Experimental Evaluation of various papers are analyzed efficiently with the various performance metrics like Precision, Recall, and Accuracy.
