We present a deep-learning framework for real-time multiple spatio-temporal (S/T) action localisation, classification and early prediction. Current state-of-the-art approaches work offline and are too slow to be useful in real- world…
We propose action-agnostic point-level (AAPL) supervision for temporal action detection to achieve accurate action instance detection with a lightly annotated dataset. In the proposed scheme, a small portion of video frames is sampled in an…
Video action detection (VAD) aims to detect actors and classify their actions in a video. We figure that VAD suffers more from classification rather than localization of actors. Hence, we analyze how prevailing methods form features for…
