• Abstract: Video understanding is to recognize and classify different actions or activities appearing in the video. A lot of previous work, such as video captioning, has shown promising performance in producing general video understanding. However, it is still challenging to generate a fine-grained description of human actions and their interactions using state-of-the-art video captioning techniques. The detailed description of human actions and group activities is essential information, which can be used in real-time CCTV video surveillance, health care, sports video analysis, etc. This study proposes a video understanding method that mainly focused on group activity recognition by learning the pair-wise actor appearance similarity and actor positions. We propose to use Normalized cross-correlation (NCC) and the sum of absolute differences (SAD) to calculate the pair-wise appearance similarity and build the actor relationship graph to allow the graph convolution network to learn how to classify group activities. We also propose to use MobileNet as the backbone to extract features from each video frame. A visualization model is further introduced to visualize each input video frame with predicted bounding boxes on each human object and predict individual action and collective activity.

  Video Visual Relation Detection (VidVRD) focuses on understanding how entities over time and space in videos. Traditional methods for VidVRD, challenged by its complexity, typically split the task into two parts: one for identifying what relation are present and another for determining their temporal boundaries. We propose VrdONE, a streamlined yet efficacious one-stage model for VidVRD.

• Video alignment using unsupervised learning of local and global features [0.0]
  We introduce an unsupervised method for alignment that uses global and local features of the frames. In particular, we introduce effective features for each video frame by means of three machine vision tools: person detection, pose estimation, and VGG network. The main advantage of our approach is that no training is required, which makes it applicable for any new type of action without any need to collect training samples for it.

  Part-level Action Parsing (PAP) aims to not only predict the video-level action but also recognize the frame-level fine-grained actions or interactions of body parts for each person in the video. In particular, our framework first predicts the video-level class of the input video, then localizes the body parts and predicts the part-level action. Our framework achieves state-of-the-art performance and outperforms existing methods over a 31.10% ROC score.

  We argue that current fixed-sized-temporal kernels in 3 convolutional neural networks (CNNDs) can be improved to better deal with temporal variations in the input. We study how we can better handle between classes of actions, by enhancing their feature differences over different layers of the architecture. The proposed approaches are evaluated on several benchmark action recognition datasets and show competitive results.

  We study self-supervised video representation learning, which is a challenging task due to 1) a lack of labels for explicit supervision and 2) unstructured and noisy visual information. Existing methods mainly use contrastive loss with video clips as the instances and learn visual representation by discriminating instances from each other. In this paper, we observe that the consistency between positive samples is the key to learn robust video representations.
