Human Actions and Hand Gesture Recognition with Deep Learning

Abstract

Over recent times, deep learning has been challenged extensively to automatically read and interpret characteristic features from large volumes of data. Human Action Recognition (HAR) has been experimented with variety of techniques like wearable devices, mobile devices etc., but they can cause unnecessary discomfort to people especially elderly and child. Since it is very vital to monitor the movements of elderly and children in unattended scenarios, thus, HAR is focused. A smart human action recognition method to automatically identify the human activities from skeletal joint motions and combines the competencies are focused. We can also intimate the near ones about the status of the people. Also, it is a low-cost method and has high accuracy. Thus, this provides a way to help the senior citizens and children from any kind of mishaps and health issues. Hand gesture recognition is also discussed along with human activities using deep learning.
