• Abstract summary: We propose a framework that can automatically annotate gesture classes and identify their temporal ranges. Our framework consists of two key components: (1) a novel annotation model that leverages the Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) loss, and (2) a semi-supervised learning pipeline. These high-quality pseudo labels can also be used to enhance the accuracy of other downstream gesture recognition models.

• Abstract: Training a real-time gesture recognition model heavily relies on annotated data. However, manual data annotation is costly and demands substantial human effort. In order to address this challenge, we propose a framework that can automatically annotate gesture classes and identify their temporal ranges. Our framework consists of two key components: (1) a novel annotation model that leverages the Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) loss, and (2) a semi-supervised learning pipeline that enables the model to improve its performance by training on its own predictions, known as pseudo labels. These high-quality pseudo labels can also be used to enhance the accuracy of other downstream gesture recognition models. To evaluate our framework, we conducted experiments using two publicly available gesture datasets. Our ablation study demonstrates that our annotation model design surpasses the baseline in terms of both gesture classification accuracy (3-4% improvement) and localization accuracy (71-75% improvement). Additionally, we illustrate that the pseudo-labeled dataset produced from the proposed framework significantly boosts the accuracy of a pre-trained downstream gesture recognition model by 11-18%. We believe that this annotation framework has immense potential to improve the training of downstream gesture recognition models using unlabeled datasets.

  Cross-dataset training in object detection tasks is complicated because the inconsistency in the category range across datasets transforms fully supervised learning into semi-supervised learning. We propose a dynamic supervisor framework that updates the annotations multiple times through multiple-updated submodels trained using hard and soft labels. In the final generated annotations, both recall and precision improve significantly through the integration of hard-label training with soft-label training.
