• Authors: Kiyoon Kim, Shreyank N Gowda, Oisin Mac Aodha, Laura Sevilla-Lara
• Abstract summary: We address the problem of capturing temporal information for video classification in 2D networks, without increasing computational cost. We propose a novel sampling strategy, where we re-order the channels of the input video, to capture short-term frame-to-frame changes. Our sampling strategies do not require training from scratch and do not increase the computational cost of training and testing.

• Abstract: We address the problem of capturing temporal information for video classification in 2D networks, without increasing computational cost. Existing approaches focus on modifying the architecture of 2D networks (e.g. by including filters in the temporal dimension to turn them into 3D networks, or using optical flow, etc.), which increases computation cost. Instead, we propose a novel sampling strategy, where we re-order the channels of the input video, to capture short-term frame-to-frame changes. We observe that without bells and whistles, the proposed sampling strategy improves performance on multiple architectures (e.g. TSN, TRN, and TSM) and datasets (CATER, Something-Something-V1 and V2), up to 24% over the baseline of using the standard video input. In addition, our sampling strategies do not require training from scratch and do not increase the computational cost of training and testing. Given the generality of the results and the flexibility of the approach, we hope this can be widely useful to the video understanding community.

  We present a novel two-stream feature fusion "Tensor-Convolution and Convolution-Transformer Network" (TCCT-Net) architecture. To better learn the meaningful patterns in the temporal-spatial domain, we design a "CT" stream that integrates a hybrid convolutional-transformer. In parallel, to efficiently extract rich patterns from the temporal-frequency domain, we introduce a "TC" stream that uses Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) to represent information in a 2D tensor form.

  We build on the common paradigm of transferring large-scale, image--text models to video via shallow temporal fusion. We expose two limitations to the approach: (1) decreased spatial capabilities, likely due to poor video--language alignment in standard video datasets, and (2) higher memory consumption, bottlenecking the number of frames that can be processed.

  The proposed algorithm is designed to handle large video datasets and retrieve the most related videos to a given inquiry video clip. We split both the candidate and the inquiry videos into a sequence of clips and convert each clip to a representation vector using an autoencoder-backed deep neural network. We then calculate a similarity measure between the sequences of embedding vectors using a bi-directional dynamic time-warping method.

  Space-time video super-resolution (ST-VSR) simultaneously increases the spatial resolution and frame rate for a given video. Existing methods typically suffer from difficulties in how to efficiently leverage information from a large range of neighboring frames. We propose a coarse-to-fine bidirectional recurrent neural network instead of using ConvLSTM to leverage knowledge between adjacent frames.
