Contribution

It presents initial ideas on combining individual and group behavior modeling with an experimental system for activity recognition in office environments.

Findings

Proposes a combined approach for activity modeling.

Introduces an experimental system for office activity analysis.

Highlights the importance of group dynamics in behavior modeling.

Abstract

Measuring and modeling human behavior is a very complex task. In this paper we present our initial thoughts on modeling and automatic recognition of some human activities in an office. We argue that to successfully model human activities, we need to consider both individual behavior and group dynamics. To demonstrate these theoretical approaches, we introduce an experimental system for analyzing everyday activity in our office.
