Abstract: In this paper the discriminant pattern hidden in the way of doing an activity for every person is explored. This pattern can be utilized for person recognition purpose in uncontrolled scenarios unlike finger print, iris, retina etc. (based on physical biometrics). This method is based on single video camera based data. From the video of various activities, background subtraction is done to remove insignificant data. From the binary video obtained after background subtraction structural tensor based features are detected and extracted. The extracted features defines the variation from the mean position are then clustered by means of k-means clustering. Histogram of cluster centroids is calculated using Bag Of Words (BOW) and classified by category classifier. Histogram of input video action sequence is compared with each of dataset and predicts the category, which corresponds to the label of person.
Keywords: Activity Based Identification, Background Subtraction, Silhouette, Structural Tensor, Bag Of Words, Category Classifier, Structured Support Vector Machine.
