    Surveillance video analysis for student action recognition and localization inside computer laboratories of a smart campus
    (Springer, 2021) Rashmi, M.; Ashwin, T.S.; Guddeti, G.R.M.
    In the era of smart campus, unobtrusive methods for students’ monitoring is a challenging task. The monitoring system must have the ability to recognize and detect the actions performed by the students. Recently many deep neural network based approaches have been proposed to automate Human Action Recognition (HAR) in different domains, but these are not explored in learning environments. HAR can be used in classrooms, laboratories, and libraries to make the teaching-learning process more effective. To make the learning process more effective in computer laboratories, in this study, we proposed a system for recognition and localization of student actions from still images extracted from (Closed Circuit Television) CCTV videos. The proposed method uses (You Only Look Once) YOLOv3, state-of-the-art real-time object detection technology, for localization, recognition of students’ actions. Further, the image template matching method is used to decrease the number of image frames and thus processing the video quickly. As actions performed by the humans are domain specific and since no standard dataset is available for students’ action recognition in smart computer laboratories, thus we created the STUDENT ACTION dataset using the image frames obtained from the CCTV cameras placed in the computer laboratory of a university campus. The proposed method recognizes various actions performed by students in different locations within an image frame. It shows excellent performance in identifying the actions with more samples compared to actions with fewer samples. © 2020, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.

    Deep learning-based multi-view 3D-human action recognition using skeleton and depth data
    (Springer, 2023) Ghosh, S.K.; Rashmi, M.; Mohan, B.R.; Guddeti, R.M.R.
    Human Action Recognition (HAR) is a fundamental challenge that smart surveillance systems must overcome. With the rising affordability of capturing human actions with more advanced depth cameras, HAR has garnered increased interest over the years, however the majority of these efforts have been on single-view HAR. Recognizing human actions from arbitrary viewpoints is more challenging, as the same action is observed differently from different angles. This paper proposes a multi-stream Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model for multi-view HAR using depth and skeleton data. We also propose a novel and efficient depth descriptor, Edge Detected-Motion History Image (ED-MHI), based on Canny Edge Detection and Motion History Image. Also, the proposed skeleton descriptor, Motion and Orientation of Joints (MOJ), represent the appropriate action by using joint motion and orientation. Experimental results on two datasets of human actions: NUCLA Multiview Action3D and NTU RGB-D using a Cross-subject evaluation protocol demonstrated that the proposed system exhibits the superior performance as compared to the state-of-the-art works with 93.87% and 85.61% accuracy, respectively. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.
