Human-Human Interaction Recognition (H2HIR) is a multidisciplinary field that combines computer vision, deep learning, and psychology. Its primary objective is to decode and understand the intricacies of human-human interactions. H2HIR holds significant importance across various domains as it enables machines to perceive, comprehend, and respond to human social behaviors, gestures, and communication patterns. This study aims to identify human-human interactions from just one frame, i.e. from an image. Diverging from the realm of video-based interaction recognition, a well-established research domain that relies on the utilization of spatio-temporal information, the complexity of the task escalates significantly when dealing with still images due to the absence of these intrinsic spatio-temporal features. This research introduces a novel deep learning model called AdaptiveDRNet with Multi-level Attention to recognize Human-Human (H2H) interactions. Our proposed method demonstrates outstanding performance on the Human-Human Interaction Image dataset (H2HID), encompassing 4049 meticulously curated images representing fifteen distinct human interactions and on the publicly accessible HII and HIIv2 related benchmark datasets. Notably, our proposed model excels with a validation accuracy of 97.20% in the classification of human-human interaction images, surpassing the performance of EfficientNet, InceptionResNetV2, NASNet Mobile, ConvXNet, ResNet50, and VGG-16 models. H2H interaction recognition's significance lies in its capacity to enhance communication, improve decision-making, and ultimately contribute to the well-being and efficiency of individuals and society as a whole.
