Human key posture extraction from videos will benefit video storage, video retrieval, human action recognition, human behaviour understanding and so on. This paper presents an approach to select key postures from human action sequences using 2D information. There are two steps in the proposed method. Information measurement which is a kind of global feature of a frame is used to roughly find key posture candidates. Then, a body skeleton feature which is a kind of local feature is applied to select final key postures from the candidates obtained in the first step. The experiments show that the proposed method is efficient. © 2008 IEEE.
