• Abstract: The task of skeleton-based action recognition remains a core challenge in human-centred scene understanding due to the multiple granularities and large variation in human motion. Existing approaches typically employ a single neural representation for different motion patterns, which has difficulty in capturing fine-grained action classes given limited training data. To address the aforementioned problems, we propose a novel multi-granular spatio-temporal graph network for skeleton-based action classification that jointly models the coarse- and fine-grained skeleton motion patterns. To this end, we develop a dual-head graph network consisting of two interleaved branches, which enables us to extract features at two spatio-temporal resolutions in an effective and efficient manner. Moreover, our network utilises a cross-head communication strategy to mutually enhance the representations of both heads. We conducted extensive experiments on three large-scale datasets, namely NTU RGB+D 60, NTU RGB+D 120, and Kinetics-Skeleton, and achieves the state-of-the-art performance on all the benchmarks, which validates the effectiveness of our method.

  This work demonstrates the use of 3D flow sequence by a deeptemporal model for 3D action recognition. An extended deep skeleton is also introduced to learn the most discriminant action motion dynamics. A late fusion scheme is adopted between the two models for learning the high level cross-modal correlations.

  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.

  Action labels are only available on a source dataset, but unavailable on a target dataset in the training stage.

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.
