\begin{abstract}
\addchaptertocentry{\abstractname}
\hspace{5mm} Autonomous action recognition is important as it is enabling the creation of various useful applications such as surveillance system, personal assistants, patient monitoring, kinesiology[1] and vision based human computer interaction (HCI). The current systems are not able to achieve an accurate and continuous recognition due to large amount of data in human activity and the computational cost needed for such an application.\\

In this thesis, we propose and validate a method to recognize human actions from a set of video sequences. The aim is to contribute to the recent advancement in this field and develop a deep neural network (DNN) that utilizes the appearance information for each frame to correctly label human actions within a short period of time. To achieve this, research questions are formed to study a live recognition system via directly detecting action instances from untrimmed videos, and to address the issue of adding anomalies to reduce the system confusion in a noisy environment, and to study the feature fusion for multi camera frames to ensure providing a consistent situational context. The method systematically derives spatial and temporal vectors from a sequence of videos and feed these vectors to a convolutional neural network (CNN) model with 9 layers that learn all the possible features from each frame.\\

Preliminary results show that, the proposed model has the capabilities of classifying up to 6 actions categories and able to achieve as high as 69.3\% of recognition rate using the challenging and well studied KTH dataset.

\hspace{5mm} First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my supervisor Prof. Gu Fang for his excellent supervision during this semester. The door to Prof. Fang's office was always open whenever I had a question or concern about my research. He consistently steered me in the right direction whenever he thought I needed it.\\

Finally, I must express my very profound gratitude to my parent for believing in me and providing me with unfailing support and continuous encouragement throughout my years of study. This accomplishment would have been impossible without them\ldots
