Video action detection requires dense spatio-temporal annotations, which are both challenging and expensive to obtain. However, real-world videos often vary in difficulty and may not require the same level of annotation. This paper analyzes…
Our world is full of varied actions and moves across specialized domains that we, as humans, strive to identify and understand. Within any single domain, actions can often appear quite similar, making it challenging for deep models to…
Understanding the structure of complex activities in untrimmed videos is a challenging task in the area of action recognition. One problem here is that this task usually requires a large amount of hand-annotated minute- or even hour-long…
