Title: Video- and Sensor-based Activity Analysis
Abstract: Vision- and sensor-based human action/activity/behavior recognition and analysis are very important research areas in computer vision and Human Robot/Machine/Computer Interaction. Over a decade, a good number of methodologies have been proposed in the literature to decipher various challenges regarding action and activity. However, due to various complex dimensions, a number of challenges still remain unexplored. In this keynote speech, various important aspects of human activity recognition and analysis will be covered. The keynote speech will emphasis on interesting and challenging research aspects to explore in future.
