Attribute Representation for Human Activity Recognition of Manual Order Picking Activities

Abstract

Semantic descriptions or attribute representations have been used successfully for object and scene recognition, and for word-spotting. However, these representations have not been explored deeply on human activity recognition (HAR). Particularly, in the manual order picking process, attribute representations are beneficial for dealing with the versatility of activities in the process. This paper compares the performance of deep architectures trained using different attribute representations for HAR. Besides, it evaluates their quality from the perspective of practical application.
