Abstract

Recently, Kernel-based learning algorithms have been applied to complex pattern recognition problems, presenting good results. In several works, these algorithms are applied to spatiotemporal pattern recognition problems, such as gesture and movement recognition. However, most of these works only extract spatiotemporal features and include them in a vector representation of the data, instead of incorporating the temporal information treatment to the recognition model construction process. This research project at Masters level aims to explore the area of Kernel-based Learning algorithms applied to human behavior analysis problems, initially focusing on the study of human movements and gestures as dynamic patterns. And, to better match the kernel-based methods to dynamic pattern recognition problem, this project intends to investigate approaches that insert characteristics of recurrent learning algorithms and/or time-delay learning algorithms.
