Abstract: Action recognition has become a research hotspot in the field of computer vision in view of its wide application in the fields of video tracking, motion analysis, auxiliary medicine, virtual reality and human-computer intelligent interaction. Action recognition refers to the act of classifying an action that is present in a given video and action detection involves locating actions of interest in space or time. Although many methods of action recognition have been proposed so far, action recognition is still full of challenges. A major difficulty is that the model can not only detect targets and actions from the background, but also accurately identify changes in action diversity. In response to this problem, the traditional model will be hindered. This dissertation proposes using skeleton data for action recognition. In the experiment, the resolution of the video was reduced. With the help of openpose, two usages are introduced: combining 3D CNN and skeleton data and adding skeleton information into initial videos. I have conducted two sets of experiments separately: traditional 3D CNN, combination of 3D CNN and skeleton and combined videos. Compared with 3D CNN, the other two methods have a small promotion. That shows the skeleton data works a little. For some different classes of video performance, we analyzed this result to some extent. Overall, when skeleton data is used as auxiliary information, the performance will be improved to a small extent. But this kind of improvement requires certain conditions.
