Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The paper presents an ongoing work that aims for real-time action recognition specifically tailored for child-centered research. To this end, we collected and annotated a dataset of 200 primary school children aged 6 to 11 years old. Each child was asked to perform seven actions: boxing, waving, clapping, running, jogging, walking towards the camera, and walking from side to side. Two camera perspectives are provided, with a top view in RGB format and a frontal view in both RGB and RGB-D formats. Body keypoints (skeleton data) are extracted using OpenPose and OpenNI tools. The results of this work are expected to bridge the performance gap between activity recognition systems for adults and children.
