Activity Recognition
Detect when an action or motion is performed by classifying and localizing actions in space and time.
Why You Need Activity Recognition
Activity recognition is a sophisticated technique that allows businesses to pinpoint specific actions for incredibly impactful use cases. Activity recognition, also known as spatio-temporal action detection, not only classifies an action (e.g., jumping, waving), but also identifies the exact location (bounding box) in each frame of the video where the action is happening. It can even identify multiple actions within the same frame, making it especially useful in cases where more than one person is doing the same (or different tasks) like on an assembly line, in a retail store, or a large warehouse.
How Activity Recognition Works
Activity recognition detects actions and motions by classifying and localizing them in space and time. To do so, these systems rely on deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and attention-based architectures, to process the video frames.
Trained on large video datasets with labeled actions, these models extract appearance (spatial) and motion (temporal) features. Action proposals are generated based on these features, refined for accurate classification and spatial-temporal tracking, minimizing frame overlap. Post-processing steps ensure correct action classification along with precise box location.
Activity Recognition for Enterprises
Activity recognition goes beyond just identifying actions in a video by detecting exactly where and when those actions occur.
Process/Assembly line monitoring
Analyze worker interactions with machinery and materials and detect if workers have difficulty accessing tools, materials, or controls to minimize unnecessary bottlenecks or delays.
Robot and Automation Monitoring
Monitor robot and human interactions in real-time to ensure safety and maximize productivity.
Customer Behavior Analysis
Track customer movement patterns throughout stores to optimize store layout, product placement, and identify areas with high customer dwell time.
Safety monitoring
Ensure safety procedures and processes are met by tracking PPE usage, proper machine usage, movements in hazardous or restricted areas, and more.
