  • Abstract
    The paper proposes a new holistic representation for actions, called action signature, which uses both global and local motion variations to classify an action. The action signatures are generated by estimating a sequence of orientations from the motion history images. A mixture of von Mises distributions is used in the classification stage of the system.
