Video action segmentation under timestamp supervision has recently received much attention due to lower annotation costs. Most existing methods generate pseudo-labels for all frames in each video to train the segmentation model. However,…
This paper strives to recognize activities in the dark, as well as in the day. We first establish that state-of-the-art activity recognizers are effective during the day, but not trustworthy in the dark. The main causes are the limited…
Semi-Supervised Learning (SSL) has shown tremendous potential to improve the predictive performance of deep learning models when annotations are hard to obtain. However, the application of SSL has so far been mainly studied in the context…
Temporal receptive fields of models play an important role in action segmentation. Large receptive fields facilitate the long-term relations among video clips while small receptive fields help capture the local details. Existing methods…
In classic video action recognition, labels may not contain enough information about the diverse video appearance and dynamics, thus, existing models that are trained under the standard supervised learning paradigm may extract less…
Spatio-temporal action detection in videos is typically addressed in a fully-supervised setup with manual annotation of training videos required at every frame. Since such annotation is extremely tedious and prohibits scalability, there is…
Temporal Activity Detection aims to predict activity classes per frame, in contrast to video-level predictions in Activity Classification (i.e., Activity Recognition). Due to the expensive frame-level annotations required for detection, the…
Video action recognition is a challenging but important task for understanding and discovering what the video does. However, acquiring annotations for a video is costly, and semi-supervised learning (SSL) has been studied to improve…
In this paper, we tackle the problem of video alignment, the process of matching the frames of a pair of videos containing similar actions. The main challenge in video alignment is that accurate correspondence should be established despite…
Weakly supervised temporal action localization aims at learning the instance-level action pattern from the video-level labels, where a significant challenge is action-context confusion. To overcome this challenge, one recent work builds an…
Video action recognition, which is topical in computer vision and video analysis, aims to allocate a short video clip to a pre-defined category such as brushing hair or climbing stairs. Recent works focus on action recognition with deep…
In this paper, we introduce the concept of learning latent super-events from activity videos, and present how it benefits activity detection in continuous videos. We define a super-event as a set of multiple events occurring together in…
Anomaly action detection and localization play an essential role in security and advanced surveillance systems. However, due to the tremendous amount of surveillance videos, most of the available data for the task is unlabeled or…
This paper is a brief report to our submission to the VIPriors Action Recognition Challenge. Action recognition has attracted many researchers attention for its full application, but it is still challenging. In this paper, we study previous…
This paper proposes a weakly-supervised learning framework for dynamics estimation from human motion. Although there are many solutions to capture pure human motion readily available, their data is not sufficient to analyze quality and…
Action recognition and detection in the context of long untrimmed video sequences has seen an increased attention from the research community. However, annotation of complex activities is usually time consuming and challenging in practice.…
Manual spatio-temporal annotation of human action in videos is laborious, requires several annotators and contains human biases. In this paper, we present a weakly supervised approach to automatically obtain spatio-temporal annotations of…
Video anomaly detection is to determine whether there are any abnormal events, behaviors or objects in a given video, which enables effective and intelligent public safety management. As video anomaly labeling is both time-consuming and…
Single modality action recognition on RGB or depth sequences has been extensively explored recently. It is generally accepted that each of these two modalities has different strengths and limitations for the task of action recognition.…
Semi-Supervised Learning can be more beneficial for the video domain compared to images because of its higher annotation cost and dimensionality. Besides, any video understanding task requires reasoning over both spatial and temporal…
