    by CRC Press

    Human Activity and Behavior Analysis relates to the field of vision and sensor-based human action or activity and behavior analysis and recognition. The book includes a series of methodologies, surveys, relevant datasets, challenging applications, ideas, and future prospects.

    The book discusses topics such as action recognition, action understanding, gait analysis, gesture recognition, behavior analysis, emotion and affective computing, and related areas. The book has been divided into two volumes. Volume 1 focuses on relevant activities in three main subject areas: Healthcare and Emotion, Mental Health, and Nurse Care Records. Volume 2 focuses on two main subject areas: Movement and Sensors, and Sports Activity Analysis.

    The editors are experts in these arenas and the contributing authors are drawn from high-impact research groups around the world. This book will be of great interest to academics, students, and professionals working and researching in the field of human activity and behavior analysis.
