Physical measurement have been becoming increasingly helpful in monitoring the humans health status. Manual measurement of physical status is time consuming and may result in misdiagnosing, so an automatic method for identification the status of physical is urgently needed. This paper presents a novel feature extraction method based on using constrained high dispersal network for depth images and coped with Support Vector Machines (SVM) to measure human physical function. The proposed method can catch the most representative features of depth images belonging to different actions and statuses. We analyze the representation efficiency of hand-crafted features (HOG features, and LBP features), deep learning features (CNN features, and PCANet features) and our proposed deep learning features separately in order to validate the efficiency and accuracy of our proposed method. The results show superior performance of 85.19% on 3840 samples (three actions, each with four different statuses, and every status contains sixteen sequences) when the proposed deep features combined with SVM.
