activity recognition

Terms from Artificial Intelligence: humans at the heart of algorithms

The glossary is being gradually proof checked, but currently has many typos and misspellings.

This refers to situations where an AI system needs to recognise some form of human activity, for example, cooking food in kitchen, or leaving a suspicious package at an airport. Activity recognition systems often have a camera and/or some other form of sensors and have to both identifiy aspects of a single frame or reading, but also the changing pattern over time.
