In the task of temporal action localization of ActivityNet-1.3 datasets, we propose to locate the temporal boundaries of each action and predict action class in untrimmed videos. We first apply VideoSwinTransformer as feature extractor to…
Detecting activities in untrimmed videos is an important but challenging task. The performance of existing methods remains unsatisfactory, e.g., they often meet difficulties in locating the beginning and end of a long complex action. In…
