Action Recognition and Understanding using Motor Primitives

— We investigate modeling and recognition of arm manipulation actions of different levels of complexity. To model the process, we are using a combination of discriminative support vector machines and generative hidden Markov models. The experimental evaluation, performed with 10 people, investigates both definition and structure of primitive motions as well as the validity of the modeling approach taken.
