Abstract
- Recognizing human actions from varied views is challenging due to huge appearance variations in different views. The key to this problem is to learn discriminant view-invariant representations generalizing well across views. In this paper, we address this problem by learning view-invariant representations hierarchically using a novel method, referred to as joint sparse representation and distribution adaptation. To obtain robust and informative feature representations, we first incorporate a sample-affinity matrix into the marginalized Stacked Denoising Autoencoder to obtain shared features that are then combined with the private features. In order to make the feature representations of videos across views transferable, we then learn a transferable dictionary pair simultaneously from pairs of videos taken at different views to encourage each action video across views to have the same sparse representation. However, the distribution difference across views still exists because a unified subspace, where the sparse representations of one action across views are the same, may not exist when the view difference is large. Therefore, we propose a novel unsupervised distribution adaptation method that learns a set of projections that project the source and target views data into respective low-dimensional subspaces, where the marginal and conditional distribution differences are reduced simultaneously. Therefore, the finally learned feature representation is view-invariant and robust for substantial distribution difference across views even though the view difference is large. Experimental results on four multi-view datasets show that our approach outperforms the state-of-the-art approaches. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
