• Abstract: It is known that the kinematics of the human body skeleton reveals valuable information in action recognition. Recently, modeling skeletons as spatio-temporal graphs with Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) has been reported to solidly advance the state-of-the-art performance. However, GCN-based approaches exclusively learn from raw skeleton data, and are expected to extract the inherent structural information on their own. This paper describes REGINA, introducing a novel way to REasoning Graph convolutional networks IN Human Action recognition. The rationale is to provide to the GCNs additional knowledge about the skeleton data, obtained by handcrafted features, in order to facilitate the learning process, while guaranteeing that it remains fully trainable in an end-to-end manner. The challenge is to capture complementary information over the dynamics between consecutive frames, which is the key information extracted by state-of-the-art GCN techniques. Moreover, the proposed strategy can be easily integrated in the existing GCN-based methods, which we also regard positively. Our experiments were carried out in well known action recognition datasets and enabled to conclude that REGINA contributes for solid improvements in performance when incorporated to other GCN-based approaches, without any other adjustment regarding the original method. For reproducibility, the REGINA code and all the experiments carried out will be publicly available at https://github.com/DegardinBruno.

  Graph convolutional networks (GCNs) can model the human body skeletons as spatial and temporal graphs. In this work, we propose pose-guided GCN (PG-GCN), a multi-modal framework for high-performance human action recognition. The core idea of this module is to utilize a trainable graph to aggregate features from the skeleton stream with that of the pose stream, which leads to a network with more robust feature representation ability.

Specifically, the CD-JBF-GC can explore the motion transmission between the joint stream and the bone stream. The pose prediction based auto-encoder in the self-supervised training stage allows the network to learn motion representation from unlabeled data.
