• Title: SigFormer: Sparse Signal-Guided Transformer for Multi-Modal Human Action Segmentation
• Authors: Qi Liu, Xinchen Liu, Kun Liu, Xiaoyan Gu, Wu Liu,
• Abstract summary: We introduce a signalguided Transformer (SigFormer) to combine both dense and sparse signals. Since sparse signals are discrete, they lack sufficient information about the temporal action boundaries. SigFormer outperforms the state-of-the-art approaches on a multi-modal action segmentation dataset from real industrial environments.

• Abstract: Multi-modal human action segmentation is a critical and challenging task with a wide range of applications. Nowadays, the majority of approaches concentrate on the fusion of dense signals (i.e., RGB, optical flow, and depth maps). However, the potential contributions of sparse IoT sensor signals, which can be crucial for achieving accurate recognition, have not been fully explored. To make up for this, we introduce a Sparse signalguided Transformer (SigFormer) to combine both dense and sparse signals. We employ mask attention to fuse localized features by constraining cross-attention within the regions where sparse signals are valid. However, since sparse signals are discrete, they lack sufficient information about the temporal action boundaries. Therefore, in SigFormer, we propose to emphasize the boundary information at two stages to alleviate this problem. In the first feature extraction stage, we introduce an intermediate bottleneck module to jointly learn both category and boundary features of each dense modality through the inner loss functions. After the fusion of dense modalities and sparse signals, we then devise a two-branch architecture that explicitly models the interrelationship between action category and temporal boundary. Experimental results demonstrate that SigFormer outperforms the state-of-the-art approaches on a multi-modal action segmentation dataset from real industrial environments, reaching an outstanding F1 score of 0.958. The codes and pre-trained models have been available at https://github.com/LIUQI-creat/SigFormer.

  Depth information has proven to be a useful cue in the semantic segmentation of RGBD images for providing a geometric counterpart to the RGB representation. Most existing works simply assume that depth measurements are accurate and well-aligned with the RGB pixels and models the problem as a cross-modal feature fusion. In this paper, we propose a unified and efficient Crossmodality Guided to not only effectively recalibrate RGB feature responses, but also to distill accurate depth information via multiple stages and aggregate the two recalibrated representations alternatively.
