Model-based viewpoint invariant human activity recognition from uncalibrated monocular video sequence

There is growing interest in human activity recognition systems, motivated by their numerous promising applications in many domains. Despite much progress, most researchers have narrowed the problem towards fixed camera viewpoint owing to inherent difficulty to train their systems across all possibl...
