• Title: Long-Short Temporal Modeling for Efficient Action Recognition
• Authors: Liyu Wu, Yuexian Zou, Can Zhang
• Abstract summary: We propose a new two-stream action recognition network, termed as MENet, consisting of a Motion Enhancement (ME) module and a Video-level Aggregation (VLA) module. For short-term motions, we design an efficient ME module to enhance the short-term motions by mingling the motion saliency among neighboring segments. As for long-term aggregations, VLA is adopted at the top of the appearance branch to integrate the long-term dependencies across all segments.

• Abstract: Efficient long-short temporal modeling is key for enhancing the performance of action recognition task. In this paper, we propose a new two-stream action recognition network, termed as MENet, consisting of a Motion Enhancement (ME) module and a Video-level Aggregation (VLA) module to achieve long-short temporal modeling. Specifically, motion representations have been proved effective in capturing short-term and high-frequency action. However, current motion representations are calculated from adjacent frames, which may have poor interpretation and bring useless information (noisy or blank). Thus, for short-term motions, we design an efficient ME module to enhance the short-term motions by mingling the motion saliency among neighboring segments. As for long-term aggregations, VLA is adopted at the top of the appearance branch to integrate the long-term dependencies across all segments. The two components of MENet are complementary in temporal modeling. Extensive experiments are conducted on UCF101 and HMDB51 benchmarks, which verify the effectiveness and efficiency of our proposed MENet.

  Action visual tempo characterizes the dynamics and the temporal scale of an action. Previous methods capture the visual tempo either by sampling raw videos with multiple rates, or by hierarchically sampling backbone features. We propose a Temporal Correlation Module (TCM) to extract action visual tempo from low-level backbone features at single-layer remarkably.

  We propose a unified action recognition framework to investigate the dynamic nature of video content. First, when extracting local cues, we generate the spatial-temporal kernels of dynamic-scale to adaptively fit the diverse events. Second, to accurately aggregate these cues into a global video representation, we propose to mine the interactions only among a few selected foreground objects by a Transformer.

  We propose a Temporal Saliency Integration (TSI) block, which mainly contains a Salient Motion Excitation (SME) module and a Cross-scale Temporal Integration (CTI) module. SME aims to highlight the motion-sensitive area through local-global motion modeling. CTI is designed to perform multi-scale temporal modeling through a group of separate 1D convolutions respectively.

  We propose a new approach to under-stand actions in egocentric videos that exploits the semantics of object interactions at both frame and temporal levels. We use a region-based approach that takes as input a primary region roughly corresponding to the user hands and a set of secondary regions potentially corresponding to the interacting objects. The proposed approach outperforms the state-of-the-art in terms of action recognition on standard benchmarks.

• Learning Comprehensive Motion Representation for Action Recognition [124.65403098534266]
  2D CNN-based methods are efficient but may yield redundant features due to applying the same 2D convolution kernel to each frame. Recent efforts attempt to capture motion information by establishing inter-frame connections while still suffering the limited temporal receptive field or high latency. We propose a Channel-wise Motion Enhancement (CME) module to adaptively emphasize the channels related to dynamic information with a channel-wise gate vector. We also propose a Spatial-wise Motion Enhancement (SME) module to focus on the regions with the critical target in motion, according to the point-to-point similarity between adjacent feature maps.

  Most state-of-the-art methods heavily rely on dense optical flow as motion representation. In this paper, we shed light on fast action recognition by lifting the reliance on optical flow. We design a novel motion cue called Persistence of Appearance (PA) In contrast to optical flow, our PA focuses more on distilling the motion information at boundaries.
