A method and a system for human action recognition are provided. In the method, a plurality of training data corresponding to a plurality of gestures are received and clustered into at least one group according to similarity between the training data, where the training data represent the gestures, and a corresponding relationship between the training data and the gestures may be one-to-one or many-to-one. An image sequence of human action is captured, and a data representing the human action to be identified is obtained there from. Then, a specific group having the highest similarity with the data to be identified is selected from the groups, and a ranking result of all the training data within the specific group is obtained through a rank classifier and the data to be identified. Finally, the human action is identified as the gesture represented by the first training data in the ranking result.
