Book Description
Action recognition technology has many real-world applications in human-computer interaction, surveillance, video retrieval, retirement home monitoring, and robotics. The commoditization of depth sensors has also opened up further applications that were not feasible before. This text focuses on feature representation and machine learning algorithms for action recognition from depth sensors. After presenting a comprehensive overview of the state of the art, the authors then provide in-depth descriptions of their recently developed feature representations and machine learning techniques, including lower-level depth and skeleton features, higher-level representations to model the temporal structure and human-object interactions, and feature selection techniques for occlusion handling. This work enables the reader to quickly familiarize themselves with the latest research, and to gain a deeper understanding of recently developed techniques. It will be of great use for both researchers and practitioners.

Book Description
This book presents an overview of the guidelines and strategies for transitioning an image or video processing algorithm from a research environment into a real-time constrained environment. Such guidelines and strategies are scattered in the literature of various disciplines including image processing, computer engineering, and software engineering, and thus have not previously appeared in one place. By bringing these strategies into one place, the book is intended to serve the greater community of researchers, practicing engineers, industrial professionals, who are interested in taking an image or video processing algorithm from a research environment to an actual real-time implementation on a resource constrained hardware platform. These strategies consist of algorithm simplifications, hardware architectures, and software methods. Throughout the book, carefully selected representative examples from the literature are presented to illustrate the discussed concepts. After reading the book, the readers are exposed to a wide variety of techniques and tools, which they can then employ to design a real-time image or video processing system.

Book Description
Human action recognition is an active research area benefitting many applications. Example applications include human-computer interaction, assistive-living, rehabilitation, and gaming. Action recognition can be broadly categorized into vision-based and inertial sensor-based. Under realistic operating conditions, it is well known that there are recognition rate limitations when using a single modality sensor due to the fact that no single sensor modality can cope with various situations that occur in practice. The hypothesis addressed in this dissertation is that by using and fusing the information from two differing modality sensors that provide 3D data (a Microsoft Kinect depth camera and a wearable inertial sensor), a more robust human action recognition is achievable. More specifically, effective and computationally efficient features have been devised and extracted from depth images. Both feature-level fusion and decision-level fusion approaches have been investigated for a dual-modality sensing incorporating a depth camera and an inertial sensor. Experimental results obtained indicate that the developed fusion approaches generate higher recognition rates compared to the situations when an individual sensor is used. Moreover, an actual working action recognition system using depth and inertial sensing has been devised which runs in real-time on laptop platforms. In addition, the developed fusion framework has been applied to a medical application.
