• Authors: Xuanhan Wang, Yan Dai, Lianli Gao, Jingkuan Song
• Abstract summary: Skeleton-based action recognition aims to project skeleton sequences to action categories, where sequences are derived from multiple forms of pre-detected points. Existing methods tend to improve GCNs by leveraging multi-form skeletons due to their complementary cues. We present Adaptive Cross-Form Learning (ACFL), which empowers well-designed GCNs to generate complementary representation from single-form skeletons.

• Abstract: Skeleton-based action recognition aims to project skeleton sequences to action categories, where skeleton sequences are derived from multiple forms of pre-detected points. Compared with earlier methods that focus on exploring single-form skeletons via Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs), existing methods tend to improve GCNs by leveraging multi-form skeletons due to their complementary cues. However, these methods (either adapting structure of GCNs or model ensemble) require the co-existence of all forms of skeletons during both training and inference stages, while a typical situation in real life is the existence of only partial forms for inference. To tackle this issue, we present Adaptive Cross-Form Learning (ACFL), which empowers well-designed GCNs to generate complementary representation from single-form skeletons without changing model capacity. Specifically, each GCN model in ACFL not only learns action representation from the single-form skeletons, but also adaptively mimics useful representations derived from other forms of skeletons. In this way, each GCN can learn how to strengthen what has been learned, thus exploiting model potential and facilitating action recognition as well. Extensive experiments conducted on three challenging benchmarks, i.e., NTU-RGB+D 120, NTU-RGB+D 60 and UAV-Human, demonstrate the effectiveness and generalizability of the proposed method. Specifically, the ACFL significantly improves various GCN models (i.e., CTR-GCN, MS-G3D, and Shift-GCN), achieving a new record for skeleton-based action recognition.

  This paper proposes a generic unsupervised Hierarchical skeleton Meta-Prototype Contrastive learning (Hi-MPC) approach with Hard Skeleton Mining (HSM) for person re-ID with unlabeled 3D skeletons. By converting original prototypes into meta-prototypes with multiple homogeneous transformations, we induce the model to learn the inherent consistency of prototypes to capture more effective skeleton features for person re-ID.

  Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) have long defined the state-of-the-art in skeleton-based action recognition. They tend to optimize the adjacency matrix jointly with the model weights. This process causes a gradual decay of bone connectivity data, culminating in a model indifferent to the very topology it sought to map. We propose an innovative pathway that encodes bone connectivity by harnessing the power of graph distances.

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.
