Action recognition from 3D skeleton data #562

Hi all,

I would like to implement 3D action recognition functionality in opencv. I would like to implement it in python. Does opencv accepts functionality written in python? Let me know your thoughts on this.

OpenCV has compatible functionality, but I am not sure how advanced the skeleton tracking will be. Why not go for the kinect setup? It is cheap and has a world class tracking system allowing you to perform state of the art action recognition algorithms!

StevenPuttemans commented 8 years ago

A combo of both might be exactly what you need

@StevenPuttemans I am sorry if I didn't ask my question correctly. I do not want to do Skeleton tracking. Kinect studio already comes with the state of the art skeleton tracking method by Shotton et al. Given 3D skeleton joints, I would like to implement action recognition functionality.
