• Abstract: Recent research has revealed that reducing the temporal and spatial redundancy are both effective approaches towards efficient video recognition, e.g., allocating the majority of computation to a task-relevant subset of frames or the most valuable image regions of each frame. However, in most existing works, either type of redundancy is typically modeled with another absent. This paper explores the unified formulation of spatial-temporal dynamic computation on top of the recently proposed AdaFocusV2 algorithm, contributing to an improved AdaFocusV3 framework. Our method reduces the computational cost by activating the expensive high-capacity network only on some small but informative 3D video cubes. These cubes are cropped from the space formed by frame height, width, and video duration, while their locations are adaptively determined with a light-weighted policy network on a per-sample basis. At test time, the number of the cubes corresponding to each video is dynamically configured, i.e., video cubes are processed sequentially until a sufficiently reliable prediction is produced. Notably, AdaFocusV3 can be effectively trained by approximating the non-differentiable cropping operation with the interpolation of deep features. Extensive empirical results on six benchmark datasets (i.e., ActivityNet, FCVID, Mini-Kinetics, Something-Something V1&V2 and Diving48) demonstrate that our model is considerably more efficient than competitive baselines.

  We present an efficient pose-driven attention-guided multimodal action recognition (EPAM-Net) for action recognition in videos. Specifically, we adapted X3D networks for both pose streams and network-temporal features from RGB videos and their skeleton sequences. Our model provides a 6.2-9.9-x reduction in FLOPs (floating-point operation, in number of multiply-adds) and a 9--9.6x reduction in the number of network parameters.

  Given an untrimmed video, temporal sentence grounding aims to locate a target moment semantically according to a sentence query. Previous respectable works have made decent success, but they only focus on high-level visual features extracted from decoded frames. We propose a new setting, compressed-domain TSG, which directly utilizes compressed videos rather than fully-decompressed frames as the visual input.

Furthermore, a Long Short-Term Memory network (LSTM) is added on the top of the CNN to further elevate the performance of classification.

  This paper proposes to integrate temporal and spatial selection into an Action Keypoint Network (AK-Net) AK-Net selects some informative points scattered in arbitrary-shaped regions as a set of action keypoints and then transforms the video recognition into point cloud classification. Experimental results show that AK-Net can consistently improve the efficiency and performance of baseline methods on several video recognition benchmarks.
