Human action recognition is used in many applications such as video surveillance, human computer interaction, assistive living, and gaming. Many papers have appeared in the literature showing that the fusion of vision and inertial sensing improves recognition accuracies compared to the situations when each sensing modality is used individually. This paper provides a survey of the papers in which vision and inertial sensing are used simultaneously within a fusion framework in order to perform human action recognition. The surveyed papers are categorized in terms of fusion approaches, features, classifiers, as well as multimodality datasets considered. Challenges as well as possible future directions are also stated for deploying the fusion of these two sensing modalities under realistic conditions.
