Human motion similarity evaluation based on deep metric learning by Yidan Zhang, Lei Nie

“…Finally, the performance of the algorithm is evaluated in a homemade dataset, and the experimental results show that the method could effectively eliminate the influence of the differences in camera viewpoints and human skeleton sizes on the similarity evaluation of actions, and generate more reliable and closer to the human subjective perception of similarity evaluation results for human actions captured from different viewpoints or with varying skeleton sizes.…”
