Most action recognition methods base on a) a late aggregation of frame level CNN features using average pooling, max pooling, or RNN, among others, or b) spatio-temporal aggregation via 3D convolutions. The first assume independence among…

In video-based person re-identification, both the spatial and temporal features are known to provide orthogonal cues to effective representations. Such representations are currently typically obtained by aggregating the frame-level features…
