Abstract where different types of activities – single actions, two persons interactions or ego-centric activities, to name a few – have been analyzed. However, traditional methods treat such types of activities separately, while in real settings detecting and recognizing different types of activities simultaneously is necessary. We first design a new unified descriptor, called Relation History Image (RHI), which can be extracted from all the activity types we are interested in. We then formulate an optimization procedure to detect and recognize activities of different types. We assess our approach on a new dataset recorded from a robot-centric perspective as well as on publicly available datasets, and evaluate its quality compared to multiple baselines.
