Abstract: This paper provides an overview of recent research efforts for digital media analysis and description. It focuses on the specific problem of human centered video analysis for activity and identity recognition in unconstrained environments. For this problem, some of the state-of-the-art approaches for video representation and classification are described. The presented approaches are generic and can be easily adapted for the description and analysis of other semantic concepts, especially those that involve human presence in digital media content.
