Action Recognition by Motion Detection in Posture Space

Abstract: The visual recognition of action can be obtained from the change of body posture over time. Even for point-light stimuli in which the body posture is conveyed by only a few light points, biological motion can be perceived from posture sequence analysis. We present and analyze a formal model of how action recognition may be computed and represented in the brain. This model assumes that motion energy detectors similar to those well-established for the luminance-based motion of objects in space are applied to a c… Show more

“…The question of whether calculation of translation plays a role in articulation analysis was addressed by two articulation tasks. Our findings of increasing discriminability with longer stimulus duration in both experiments agree with our assumptions and the model of Theusner et al (2014) concerning the temporal evolution of articulation discrimination on neural level. Moreover, both experiments reveal an impact of the translational component on the perception of articulation direction.…”

“…Whereas early findings emphasized local motion signals (Cutting, 1981;Johansson, 1973;Webb & Aggarwal, 1982), results of recent psychophysical studies (Beintema, Georg, & Lappe, 2006;Lu, 2010;McKay, Simmons, McAleer, & Pollick, 2009;Reid, Brooks, Blair, & van der Zwan, 2009;Theusner, de Lussanet, & Lappe, 2011;Thirkettle, Scott-Samuel, & Benton, 2010) strongly support the approach of a formbased analysis by first computing body posture and then body motion (Beintema & Lappe, 2002;Giese & Poggio, 2003;Lange, Georg, & Lappe, 2006;Theusner, de Lussanet, & Lappe, 2014). Appropriate postureselectivity has been found in the occipital face area (Grossman & Blake, 2002;Michels, Lappe, & Vaina, 2005;Vaina, Solomon, Chowdhury, Sinha, & Belliveau, 2001), the fusiform body area (Michels et al, 2005;Peelen & Downing, 2005;Schwarzlose, Baker, & Kanwisher, 2005) and the extrastriate body area (Downing, Jiang, Shuman, & Kanwisher, 2001).…”
