- ItemA Neural architecture for recognising human actions in video sequences(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2022-04) Malan, Christian; Du Preez, Johan; Stellenbosch University. Faculty of Engineering. Dept. of Electrical and Electronic Engineering.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The goal of an action recognition model (as applied to a video) is to extract distinct features that accurately characterise the action present and then from that determine the dominant action in the video. Since such actions occur in the spatio-temporal domain, recognising it relies on both spatial and temporal features. In this thesis we designed and built such an action recognition model by making use of a deep neural network system that combines various subsystems, each focussing on complemen tary aspects of the problem. A particular focus is on the automatic extraction of discriminatory spatio-temporal features. In combination the final system is shown to accurately distinguish between a limited range of actions.
