Time series kernel

We propose a new kernel specific to videos, which compares actions as time series of frames. The dynamics of actions are compared by using the Hilbert-Schmidt norm of the difference between their respective auto-correlations, in a RKHS induced by a kernel between frames. Our time series kernel (called DACO, for Difference of Auto-Correlation Operators) is shown to provide complementary information to bag-of-features. The results are published at the BMVC 2011 conference in the paper A time series kernel for action recognition A one page summary is also available here. BMVC 2011 Poster

Temporal detection of actions

The goal of this work is to find when a short human action (like opening a door) is performed in large real-world video databases. The results are published at the CVPR 2011 conference in the paper Actom Sequence Models for Efficient Action Detection (downloadable here). Bill Murray drinking coffee

Mining visual actions from movies

During this project, we aimed at using textual and visual information to extract, from movie databases, some video examples of a query action. The paper Mining visual actions from movies (downloadable here), published at the BMVC 2009 conference, presents our approach and gives some results on the TV-show Buffy the vampire slayer.
