Abstract—In this paper, we proposed an unsupervised posture modeling method based on Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM). Specifically, each learning posture is described based on its movement features by a set of spatial-temporal interest points (STIPs), salient postures are then clustered from these training samples by an unsupervised algorithm, here we give the comparison of four candidate classification methods and find the optimal one. Furthermore, each clustered posture type is modeled with GMM according to Expectation Maximization (EM) estimation. The experiment results proved that our method can effectively model postures and can be used for posture recognition in video.
