Abstract
Vision-based Human activity recognition is becoming a trendy area of research due to its wide application such as security and surveillance, human–computer interactions, patients monitoring system, and robotics. In the past two decades, there are several publically available human action, and activity datasets are reported based on modalities, view, actors, actions, and applications. The objective of this survey paper is to outline the different types of video datasets and highlights their merits and demerits under practical considerations. Based on the available information inside the dataset we can categorise these datasets into RGB (Red, Green, and Blue) and RGB-D(depth). The most prominent challenges involved in these datasets are occlusions, illumination variation, view variation, annotation, and fusion of modalities. The key specification of these datasets is discussed such as resolutions, frame rate, actions/actors, background, and application domain. We have also presented the state-of-the-art algorithms in a tabular form that give the best performance on such datasets. In comparison with earlier surveys, our works give a better presentation of datasets on the well-organised comparison, challenges, and latest evaluation technique on existing datasets.
