Human Action Recognition (HAR) for CCTV-oriented applications is still a challenging problem. Real-world scenarios HAR implementations is difficult because of the gap between Deep Learning data ...requirements and what the CCTV-based frameworks can offer in terms of data recording equipments. We propose to reduce this gap by exploiting human poses provided by the OpenPose, which has been already proven to be an effective detector in CCTV-like recordings for tracking applications. Therefore, in this work, we first propose ActionXPose: a novel 2D pose-based approach for pose-level HAR. ActionXPose extracts low- and high-level features from body poses which are provided to a Long Short-Term Memory Neural Network and a 1D Convolutional Neural Network for the classification. We also provide a new dataset, named ISLD, for realistic pose-level HAR in a CCTV-like environment, recorded in the Intelligent Sensing Lab. ActionXPose is extensively tested on ISLD under multiple experimental settings, e.g. Dataset Augmentation and Cross-Dataset setting, as well as revising other existing datasets for HAR. ActionXPose achieves state-of-the-art performance in terms of accuracy, very high robustness to occlusions and missing data, and promising results for practical implementation in real-world applications.
The main goal of this research was to elaborate an Integrated Action Plan (IAC) for the sustain-able development of the Jurumirim Watershed (JW), considering the geo-economic relationships,the ...natural potentialities and vulnerabilities, as well as the intrinsic characteristics of the localcommunity, its demands and latencies. The JW has 70 km2 , and is located in the Angra dos Reiscounty, Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil. The objectives of IAC are income generation, improve environ-mental and community quality of life, through actions, named Pilot Projects (PP), that are articu-lated and reinforced. The PPs are the result of adequacy between community demands and ISLD objectives. The strategies to implement IAC and to guarantee its sustainability are: mobilize hu-man and financial resources to enable the projects, improve inhabitants association, build com-munity capacity, guarantee the negotiation and management on a participatory approach, em-power human and social capital, stimulate citizen participation and construct partnerships.
