• Abstract: This technical report presents our first place winning solution for temporal action detection task in CVPR-2022 AcitivityNet Challenge. The task aims to localize temporal boundaries of action instances with specific classes in long untrimmed videos. Recent mainstream attempts are based on dense boundary matchings and enumerate all possible combinations to produce proposals. We argue that the generated proposals contain rich contextual information, which may benefits detection confidence prediction. To this end, our method mainly consists of the following three steps: 1) action classification and feature extraction by Slowfast, CSN, TimeSformer, TSP, I3D-flow, VGGish-audio, TPN and ViViT; 2) proposal generation. Our proposed Context-aware Proposal Network (CPN) builds on top of BMN, GTAD and PRN to aggregate contextual information by randomly masking some proposal features. 3) action detection. The final detection prediction is calculated by assigning the proposals with corresponding video-level classifcation results. Finally, we ensemble the results under different feature combination settings and achieve 45.8% performance on the test set, which improves the champion result in CVPR-2021 ActivityNet Challenge by 1.1% in terms of average mAP.

  The prevailing framework for matching multimodal inputs is based on a two-stage process. We argue that these methods overlook an obvious emphmismatch between the roles of proposals in the two stages. We propose VL-NMS, which is the first method to yield query-aware proposals at the first stage.

  Temporal action proposal generation is a challenging yet important task in the video understanding field. Current methods still suffer from inaccurate temporal boundaries and inferior confidence used for retrieval. We propose TCANet to generate high-quality action proposals through "local and global" temporal context aggregation.

  This report presents an overview of our solution used in the submission to ActivityNet Challenge 2020 Task 1. We decouple the temporal action localization task into two stages (i.e. proposal generation and classification) and enrich the proposal diversity. Our proposed scheme achieves the state-of-the-art performance on the temporal action localization task with textbf42.26 average mAP on the challenge testing set.

  We present our solution for the task of temporal action localization (detection) (task 1) in ActivityNet Challenge 2020. The purpose of this task is to temporally localize intervals where actions of interest occur and predict the action categories in a long untrimmed video. In this stage, we combine the video-level classification results obtained by the fine tuning networks to predict the category of each proposal.
