Abstract
Using tools from dynamical systems and systems identification, we develop a framework for the study of primitives for human motion, which we refer to as movemes. The objective is understanding human motion by decomposing it into a sequence of elementary building blocks that belong to a known alphabet of dynamical systems. We develop a segmentation and classification algorithm in order to reduce a complex activity into the sequence of movemes that have generated it. We test our ideas on data sampled from five human subjects who were drawing figures using a computer mouse. Our experiments show that we are able to distinguish between movemes and recognize them even when they take place in activities containing an unspecified number of movemes.
