Video Action Recognition
Kevin Ashley · Apress eBooks · 2020
Our brain is a superfast action recognition system that’s hard to match. In terms of deep learning, our brain routinely does many things to recognize actions, and it works fast ! In this chapter we cover practical methods and tools for video action recognition and classification. We discuss data structures for loading, normalizing, and storing videos; datasets for sport action classification, such as Kinetics; and deep learning models. Using readily available pretrained models, we can classify hundreds of sport actions and train the models to recognize new activities. For a sport data scientist, this chapter provides practical examples for deep learning, movement analysis, and action recognition for video.
