Effective approaches in human action recognition

Recognising and understanding the activities performed by people is a fundamental research topic in developing a wide range of applications that would be societally beneficial. In this article, we present and discuss two research projects on human action recognition based on computer vision techniques. We also report an ongoing research project that focuses on learning human activities through low cost, unobtrusive radio frequency identification (RFID) technology.
