Introduction:

Recently, automation system has drawn much attention for industrial as well as
academic research and Human Activity Recognition (HAR) system is one of them in the field
of computer vision analysis technology . Due to the mounting demands from numerous
applications like in medical or healthcare systems, security, visual monitoring, video
acquisition, entertainmentas well as abnormal activity monitoring to capture glimpses of what
is going on as well as thedetection of illegal or possibly harmful practises. Similarly, inthe area
of entertainment, HAR also helps to improve the performance of Human Computer Interaction
(HCI), Furthermore, HAR also play a vital role in a healthcare system to recognize the
activityof the rehabilitation of patients like their action and behaviour to facilitate the
rehabilitation processes. Many scholars have attempted to use the HAR method, especially in
regards to abnormal activities in home, human activity, sports and street activity, healthcare
monitoring and many more application in their studies. In this review paper, the computer
vision-based technologies for recognition of human activity or abnormal behaviours using the
concept of demanding and computationally intelligent classification techniques like deep
learning and machine learning will be extensively reviewed and discussed with challenges and
future possibilities. An action in the HAR mechanism may be witnessed by using the human
eye or by the use of some kind of visualization or sensing technologies. The actual activity of
the individual in the field of view must be constantly monitored for the operation to be properly
performed. Based on the type of involved body parts used for motion, human actions may be
divided into four categories:
Facial and walking: It is focused on the action of a human’s face, or other body parts when
walking, with no requirement of verbal contact.
• Action: it is just a series of gestures performed by humans such as running or sitting or
walking.
• Interaction: It is also an important aspect that incorporates individual actions to be
executed by human. Interaction can be with individual or single person.
• Group Activity: It may be a mix of human movements, behaviours, acts, or
interactions. Here, number of performers can be performed at a time but at least two or more
objects or person needed for the interaction.

Problem Statement:

Many researchers have contributed innovative algorithms and approaches in the


area of human action recognition system and have conducted experiments on
individual data sets by considering accuracy and computation. In spite of their efforts,
this field requires high accuracy with less computational complexity. The existing
techniques are inadequate in accuracy due to assumptions regarding clothing style,
view angle and environment. Hence, the main objective of this thesis is to develop an
efficient multi-view based human action recognition system using shape features.
During the development phase, the following two objectives have been conceived in
the proposed approach: Primary Objective – to develop an efficient human action
recognition system using multiple views. Secondary Objective – to understand human
behavior model using probabilistic action graph.

Existing System:
The most successful and popular vector-form feature: histograms of oriented
gradients (HOG) It is shown that the HOG features are based on the contrast of silhouette
contours against the background. Despite all the difficulties on human detection, a lot of
work has been done recent years. First, we may use different features such as edge, Haar
features and gradient orientation features; second, we may use different classifiers such as
Nearest Neighbor, Neutral Network, SVM and Adaboost the second step of human
detection is designing classifier. Large generalization ability and less classifying
complexity are two important criteria for selecting classifiers. Linear support vector
machine (SVM) and AdaBoost are two widely-used classifiers satisfying the criteria. So
the traditional approach of AdaBoost for face detection and has demonstrated both high
recognition accuracy and fast run-time performance. However, in most cases the
classification accuracy is lower than that of the first proposed algorithm based on HOG+
SVM.

Proposed system and Objective:


Methodology of Human Activity Recognition include several steps of processing
from taking the input, identifying the similar patterns, comparing the frames with the
Kinetic dataset, recognizing the actions and providing the context and speech of the action

to the video frames.

Dataset: A kinetics dataset which consists of 400 human activities is used for prediction
and comparison of the input data. Kinetics dataset are taken from YouTube recordings.

The activities are human focuses and cover a wide scope of classes including human-object
communications, for example mowing lawn, washing dishes, humans Actions e.g. Since
the dataset is huge and downloading each clip would be a waste of time given that we
already have pre-trained models by the original author. It will be easy and provides
accurate results when worked on the pre-trained model than to train and tune it separately.

1. Recognition of the action:

The kinetic dataset is used by the ResNet_34 3D model to compare similar


patterns in the input data frames that are captured in the intervals. The similar patterns can
be identified by CNN trough pooling layer by layer. The identified actions are categorized
into classes of human activities. The recognition of the data input can be done by
Resnet_34 model by video classification of 3D kernels. Segmentation of the actions are
the classes which are identified by the model.

2. Context and Speech output of the action:

Through the programming in python the captioning of the activity that is identified
by the model can be displayed in the video while execution of the input file.
Simultaneously, the speech of the activity that is captioned will be produced.

3. Recognition of the action:

The kinetic dataset is used by the ResNet_34 3D model to compare similar


patterns in the input data frames that are captured in the intervals. The similar patterns can
be identified by CNN trough pooling layer by layer. The identified actions are categorized
into classes of human activities. The recognition of the data input can be done by
Resnet_34 model by video classification of 3D kernels. Segmentation of the actions are
the classes which are identified by the model.
Detecting human beings accurately in a visual surveillance system is crucial for diverse application
areas including abnormal event detection, human gait characterization, congestion analysis, person
identification, gender classification and fall detection for elderly people. The biggest use of such

system is during the ongoing Worldwide Covid-19 Pandemic where intelligent tracking of mass
gathering is of utmost importance to avoid the community spread of the disease. As the system comes
with Real-time human counting, based on the statistics the task of the governing body gets reduce
significantly to identify crowdy places or streets with the help of the proposed system respectively

Scope of the Project:


Human action acknowledgment intends to distinguish the activities did by an
individual susceptible to him which are done as often as possible in his everyday
existence as for the general condition.
Acknowledgment can be practiced by abusing the data recovered from different
sources, for example, condition by utilizing sensors. In this task we gather dataset from
30 volunteers going from 19-48 years and we process the information utilizing
calculation. Human action acknowledgment assumes a noteworthy job in human-to-
human communication and relational relations.
Conclusion:
Understanding the human activity and their interaction with the surrounding
objects is a key element for the development of intelligent system. Human action
recognition is a field that deals with the problems generates in the integration of sensing
and reasoning, to provide context aware data that can be confer the personalized support
across an application. In the human action recognition system, still there are various
issues which need to be addressed like as battery limitation of wearable sensors, privacy
concern regarding continuous monitoring of activities, difficulty in performing HAR
(Human activity recognition) in real time and lack of fully ambient systems able to
reach users at any time.
