Human motion recognition employing infrared radiation camera images

This paper proposes a method of motion recognition in real night environment employing an infrared radiation camera. We record a video employing an infrared radiation camera to perform motion recognition at night. We use Directional Motion History Images (DMHIs) and Directional Motion Energy Images (DMEIs) for human motion representation. For the recognition of the motions, we employ the eigenspace method. In the experiment, it was confirmed that the human motion recognition at night is possible.
