Talking Detection In Collaborative Learning Environments
share
We study the problem of detecting talking activities in collaborative learning videos. Our approach uses head detection and projections of the log-magnitude of optical flow vectors to reduce the problem to a simple classification of small projection images without the need for training complex, 3-D activity classification systems. The small projection images are then easily classified using a simple majority vote of standard classifiers. For talking detection, our proposed approach is shown to significantly outperform single activity systems. We have an overall accuracy of 59 to 42 In addition, our method is able to detect multiple talking instances from multiple speakers, while also detecting the speakers themselves.
