• Abstract: Over the last few years, Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (UDA) techniques have acquired remarkable importance and popularity in computer vision. However, when compared to the extensive literature available for images, the field of videos is still relatively unexplored. On the other hand, the performance of a model in action recognition is heavily affected by domain shift. In this paper, we propose a simple and novel UDA approach for video action recognition. Our approach leverages recent advances on spatio-temporal transformers to build a robust source model that better generalises to the target domain. Furthermore, our architecture learns domain invariant features thanks to the introduction of a novel alignment loss term derived from the Information Bottleneck principle. We report results on two video action recognition benchmarks for UDA, showing state-of-the-art performance on HMDB$\leftrightarrow$UCF, as well as on Kinetics$\rightarrow$NEC-Drone, which is more challenging. This demonstrates the effectiveness of our method in handling different levels of domain shift. The source code is available at https://github.com/vturrisi/UDAVT.

  Unsupervised adaptation (UDA) in videos is a challenging task that remains not well explored compared to image-based UDA techniques. Our key idea is to use transformer layers as a feature encoder and incorporate spatial and temporal transferability relationships into the attention mechanism. A Transferable-guided Attention (TransferAttn) framework is then developed to exploit the capacity of the transformer to adapt cross-domain knowledge.

  Vision transformer (ViT) has attracted tremendous attention since its emergence and has been widely used in various computer vision tasks. In this paper, we fill this gap by employing the ViT as the feature extractor in adversarial domain adaptation. We empirically demonstrate that ViT can be a plug-and-play component in adversarial domain adaptation.

  Localizing people and recognizing their actions from videos is a challenging task towards high-level video understanding. Existing methods are mostly two-stage based, with one stage for person bounding box generation and the other stage for action recognition. We present a decoupled one-stage network dubbed DOAD, to improve the efficiency for-temporal action detection.

  Unsupervised Domain Adaptation for semantic segmentation has gained immense popularity since it can transfer knowledge from simulation to real.

We show that our proposals significantly outperform previous image-based UDA methods both on image-level (mIoU) and video-level (VPQ) evaluation metrics.

We evaluate our method both qualitatively and quantitatively, and demonstrate that our method handles various cross-domain scenarios, such as different animals, different flowers, and humans.

  Domain adaptation techniques, which focus on adapting models between distributionally different domains, are rarely explored in the video recognition area. Recent works on visual domain adaptation which leverage adversarial learning to unify the source and target video representations are not highly effective on the videos. This paper proposes an Adversarial Bipartite Graph (ABG) learning framework which directly models the source-target interactions.
