The dictionary can represent also generic inanimate or animate objects and activities by hyper-regions in the feature vector space. It is also proposed to develop an approach to human activity recognition. The HTL language will be extended by introducing new temporal operators. The temporal part of the extended language will be at least as expressive as regular expressions. The Similarity list generator for a subclass of HTL queries, called conjunctive queries, has been implemented.
Preliminary results are encouraging.
We have succeeded in segmentation of human faces using color and frequency characteristics. A robust scheme for head detection was developed with successful results for various poses of human head. Also, a robust scheme for tracking human body parts for the purpose of activity recognition was constructed. An innovative method for human activity recognition was developed. This method is based on Sequential Indexing.
