Abstract

Human action recognition is a challenging area of research in the field of computer vision due to its complex analytical structure. Researches have been carried out in this field over the past few years. Now, as it has become possible to recognize human action successfully, the researchers are trying to make the recognition system real time in nature. But due to its complex video analysis, it has not been possible for the researchers to make it real time completely. Though some algorithms had been developed that will successfully recognize human action with the minimum delay possible in order to make the recognition system almost real time in nature. In this work, we have compared some of the successful human action recognition methodologies along with the recent trends to accomplish the task in negligible time delay.
