Reducing Computational Cost in Pedestrian Conversation Activity Recognition through Skeleton Spatiotemporal Graphs

Tsubasa Kondo, Michiko Inoue, Shunsuke Yoneda, Masashi Nishiyama

The existing method for recognizing conversation activity in walking pedestrian groups uses heavy three-dimensional mesh reconstruction and rendering, which significantly increases the computational cost. We investigate a lightweight framework that replaces skinned multi-person linear model mesh structures using skeleton spatiotemporal graphs extracted …
