BodyFlow: An Open-Source Library for Multimodal Human Activity Recognition.

Human activity recognition is a critical task for various applications across healthcare, sports, security, gaming, and other fields. This paper presents BodyFlow, a comprehensive library that seamlessly integrates human pose estimation and multiple-person estimation and tracking, along with activity recognition modules. BodyFlow enables users to effortlessly identify common activities and 2D/3D body joints from input sources such as videos, image sets, or webcams. Additionally, the library can simultaneously process inertial sensor data, offering users the flexibility to choose their preferred input, thus facilitating multimodal human activity recognition. BodyFlow incorporates state-of-the-art algorithms for 2D and 3D pose estimation and three distinct models for human activity recognition.
