In this paper, we present an analysis of human motion that can assist the recognition of human actions irrespective of the selection of particular features. We begin with an analysis on the entire set of preclassified motions in order to derive the generic characteristics of articulated human motion and complement the analysis by a more detailed inter-class analysis. The statistical analysis concerns features that describe the significancecontribution of the human joints in performing an action. Furthermore, we adopt a hierarchical analysis on the human body itself in the study of different actions, by grouping joints that share common characteristics. We present our experiments on standard databases for human motion capture data as well as a new commercial dataset with additional classes of human motion and highlight certain interesting results.

Abstract
In this paper, we present an analysis of human motion that can assist the recognition of human actions irrespective of the selection of particular features. We begin with an analysis on the entire set of preclassified motions in order to derive the generic characteristics of articulated human motion and complement the analysis by a more detailed inter-class analysis. The statistical analysis concerns features that describe the significancecontribution of the human joints in performing an action. Furthermore, we adopt a hierarchical analysis on the human body itself in the study of different actions, by grouping joints that share common characteristics. We present our experiments on standard databases for human motion capture data as well as a new commercial dataset with additional classes of human motion and highlight certain interesting results.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
