Abstract(in English) In this paper, we proposed a method of recognizing and generating textual description of human activities using a wearable camera. The image sequence taken by a wearable camera changes frequently according to the activity of the person that the camera is attached. Therefore, it is difficult to apply the conventional method to such a situation. In our method, movement of the person is estimated by geometric relation between image frames. Then, the directions of hands movement are estimated by tracking skin color regions. Finally, by associating these geometric features with concept hierarchies of human activities, natural language description which explains the person's activity is generated.
