Image Dataset for basic human actions

I think Stanford 40 Action Dataset, Flickr and Human Activity Recognition tab of World Data could be reliable sources in this regard. I also found Willow-Actions dataset as a good source.

Stanford 40 Actions

The Stanford 40 Action Dataset contains images of humans performing 40 actions. In each image, we provide a bounding box of the person who is performing the action indicated by the filename of the image. There are 9532 images in total with 180-300 images per action class.
