Human action classification using surf based spatio-temporal correlated descriptors

This paper proposes a method for human action classification by utilizing correlations between SURF based descriptors. This approach provides us a novel type of descriptor that can be used for action classification. The method proposed is tested using an SVM classification technique. For evaluation purposes, the KTH action recognition dataset, which is a standard benchmark for this area is used as it is one of the most well known and challenging dataset. The method proposed was able to successfully classify different action classes.
