Abstract
Methods for analyzing humans and their actions from monocular or multi-view video data are required in many different applications. In this chapter simple LBP-based approaches for action recognition are introduced. The methods perform very favorably compared to the state-of-the-art for test video sequences commonly used in the research community.
