Multi-view regularized extreme learning machine for human action recognition

Abstract

In this paper, we propose an extension of the ELM algorithm that is able to exploit multiple action representations. This is achieved by incorporating proper regularization terms in the ELM optimization problem. In order to determine both optimized network weights and action representation combination weights, we propose an iterative optimization process. The proposed algorithm has been evaluated by using the state-of-the-art action video representation on three publicly available action recognition databases, where its performance has been compared with that of two commonly used video representation combination approaches, i.e., the vector concatenation before learning and the combination of classification outcomes based on learning on each view independently. © 2014 Springer International Publishing.
