Description There is a growing amount of human motion data captured as a continuous 3D skeleton sequence without any information about its semantic partitioning. To make such unsegmented and unlabeled data efficiently accessible, we propose to transform them into a text-like representation and employ well-known text retrieval models. Specifically, we partition each motion synthetically into a sequence of short segments and quantize the segments into motion words, i.e. compact features with similar characteristics as words in text documents. We introduce several quantization techniques for building motion-word vocabularies and propose application-independent criteria for assessing the vocabulary quality. We verify these criteria on two real-life application scenarios.
