Title: Regression and Machine Learning Methods for Predicting Human Movements Based on Skeletal Data
Abstract: In recent years, the advancement of computer vision technologies has facilitated the extraction of skeletal data from human movements captured in video sequences. Leveraging this wealth of information, this article explores the application of regression and machine learning methods to predict human movements based on skeletal data. The objective is to develop models that can accurately forecast and understand the dynamics of various human motions.The methodology involves the use of computer vision techniques for skeleton detection and tracking, followed by careful preprocessing of the skeletal data to extract relevant features. These features, representing key aspects of the skeletal structure and motion, serve as inputs to regression and machine learning models. Various algorithms, including linear regression, support vector machines, random forests, and deep neural networks, are employed to learn the intricate relationships between skeletal features and corresponding movements.A crucial aspect of the study is the creation of a comprehensive training dataset that captures diverse human movements. Data augmentation techniques are applied to enhance the variability and robustness of the training set. The trained models are then rigorously evaluated using metrics such as mean squared error to quantify their predictive performance.Results indicate that the proposed regression and machine learning approaches exhibit promising capabilities in predicting human movements. The article discusses the strengths and limitations of different algorithms, highlighting their applicability in various contexts, including virtual reality, augmented reality, security systems, and robotics. Furthermore, the study emphasizes the importance of continuous refinement and adaptation of models to accommodate the complexity and variability inherent in human motion.This research contributes to the growing body of knowledge at the intersection of computer vision and human movement prediction, paving the way for innovative applications in fields such as human-computer interaction, biomechanics, and artificial intelligence. The findings underscore the potential of regression and machine learning methods in enhancing our understanding and prediction of human movements based on skeletal data.

Review comment: The authors are trying to build a system capable of human motion prediction based on the skeletal data using ML-based methods (based on the title and the Discussion section). The Introduction and Methodology sections of the paper do not present a coherent body of text explaining state-of-the-art methods, motivation, and problem statement. The title of the paper suggest that the developed algorithm/solution can be used for predicting human movements, however, the Results section do not demonstrate any non-static case studies. The paper requires significant improvements. At this stage, it is not ready to be accepted to an IEEE conference.
