Recognizing human actions in 3-D video sequences is an important open problem that currently at the heart of many research domains including surveillance, natural interfaces and rehabilitation. However, design development models for action recognition are both accurate efficient a challenging task due to variability pose, clothing appearance.

We propose a novel geometric framework for analyzing 3D faces, with the specific goals of comparing, matching, and averaging their shapes. Here we represent facial surfaces by radial curves emanating from nose tips use elastic shape analysis these to develop Riemannian shapes full surfaces.

Recently, wearable emotion recognition based on peripheral physiological signals has drawn massive attention due to its less invasive nature and applicability in real-life scenarios. However, how effectively fuse multimodal data remains a challenging problem. Moreover, traditional fully-supervised approaches suffer from overfitting given limited labeled data. To address the above issues, we propose novel self-supervised learning (SSL) framework for recognition, where efficient fusion is...
