Our system applies existing statistical techniques for time-series classification, including e-divisive change point detection and "Symbolic Aggregate approXimation" (SAX) with agglomerative hierarchical clustering, to 3D pose telemetry data. These techniques create classes of short segments of single-person video data–short actions of potential interest called "micro-gestures." A long short-term memory (LSTM) layer then learns these micro-gestures from pose features generated purely from video via a pretrained OpenPose convolutional neural network (CNN) to predict their occurrence in unlabeled test videos. We present and discuss the results from testing our system on the single user pose videos of the CMU Panoptic Dataset. }, keywords={}, }
