Abstract
The paper presents an ongoing work that aims for real-time action recognition specifically tailored for child-centered research. To this end, we collected and annotated a dataset of 200 primary school children aged 6 to 11 years old. Each child was asked to perform seven actions: boxing, waving, clapping, running, jogging, walking towards the camera, and walking from side to side. Two camera perspectives are provided, with a top view in RGB format and a frontal view in both RGB and RGB-D formats. Body keypoints (skeleton data) are extracted using OpenPose and OpenNI tools. The results of this work are expected to bridge the performance gap between activity recognition systems for adults and children.
