In this paper, we propose using supervised feature learning as a way to learn spatio- temporal features. More specifically, a modified hidden conditional random field is applied to learn two high-level features conditioned on a certain action label. Among them, the individual features can describe the appearance of local parts and the interaction features can capture their spatial constraints. In order to make the best of what have been learned, a new categorization model is proposed for action matching. It is inspired by the Deformable Part Model and the intuition is that actions can be modeled by local features in a changeable spatial and temporal dependency. Experimental result shows that our algorithm can successfully recognize human actions with high accuracies both on the simple atomic action database (KTH and Weizmann) and complex interaction activity database (CASIA).
