Human motion identification method based on Gaussian process latent variable model

The invention provides a discriminant human motion identification method based on a Gaussian process latent variable model and a hidden condition random field. The method mainly comprises that skeletal structure and motion information of the human body are obtained via motion capturing technology or Kinect motion sensing technology when motion data is obtained; when motion characteristics are extracted, the Gaussian process latent variable model added with a dynamic process and sparse approximation is used to obtain structure of high-dimension motion information in low-dimension hidden space and further to represent the motion characteristic; and when the human motion is identified, the discriminant hidden condition random field is used to model characteristics of sequential motion data, and motions are classified. According to the invention, characteristics of the human motions can be visualized, information among the sequential motion data can be used effectively, the human motions can be identified in high
