This repository contains the code implementation of an innovative approach named 3DHARSOM for 3D human action recognition. This approach effectively tackles the action classification challenge by integrating both the first and second orders of dynamics. The input dataset comprises actions captured by the Kinect sensor, specifically the MSRAction3D Dataset, which serves as the foundation for conducting experiments. The architecture of 3DHARSOM consists of several layers, including a pre-processing layer, a first-layer Self-Organizing Map (SOM), a superimposition layer, a second-layer SOM, and a third-layer neural network for labeling. Researchers and enthusiasts interested in utilizing the 3DHARSOM architecture or any of its individual components are encouraged to cite the associated article or its article/arxiv link:
This architecture demonstrates an innovative approach to enhancing 3D human action recognition, offering a comprehensive solution that leverages both spatial and temporal dynamics.

Run HAR.py scripts and apply the settings required to define the dataset and hyperparameters used for either training or testing the system. A pretrained model is available in directory 'trained_models/MSR_Action3D_2_pretrained', which shows the performance of the system.
Vriants of 3DHARSOM architecture are designed and implemented to address different research problems. These studies are presented in several scientific papers (and demos) mentioned in the following:
