Journal of System Simulation
Abstract: In recent years, human action recognition based on skeleton data has received a lot of attention in the fields of computer vision and human-computer interaction. Most of the existing methods focus on modeling the skeleton points in the original 3D coordinate space. However, skeleton points ignore the physical chain structure of the human body itself, which makes it difficult to portray the local correlation of human motion. In addition, due to the diversity of camera views, it is difficult to explore the comprehensive representation of actions in different views under the original point-based 3D space. In view of this, …
