• Abstract: Sports videos pose complex challenges, including cluttered backgrounds, camera angle changes, small action-representing objects, and imbalanced action class distribution. Existing methods for detecting actions in sports videos heavily rely on global features, utilizing a backbone network as a black box that encompasses the entire spatial frame. However, these approaches tend to overlook the nuances of the scene and struggle with detecting actions that occupy a small portion of the frame. In particular, they face difficulties when dealing with action classes involving small objects, such as balls or yellow/red cards in soccer, which only occupy a fraction of the screen space. To address these challenges, we introduce a novel approach that analyzes and models scene entities using an adaptive attention mechanism. Particularly, our model disentangles the scene content into the global environment feature and local relevant scene entities feature. To efficiently extract environmental features while considering temporal information with less computational cost, we propose the use of a 2D backbone network with a time-shift mechanism. To accurately capture relevant scene entities, we employ a Vision-Language model in conjunction with the adaptive attention mechanism. Our model has demonstrated outstanding performance, securing the 1st place in the SoccerNet-v2 Action Spotting, FineDiving, and FineGym challenge with a substantial performance improvement of 1.6, 2.0, and 1.3 points in avg-mAP compared to the runner-up methods. Furthermore, our approach offers interpretability capabilities in contrast to other deep learning models, which are often designed as black boxes. Our code and models are released at: https://github.com/Fsoft-AIC/unifying-global-local-feature.

  Current research faces challenges in balancing between receptive fields and reducing interference when aggregating multi-view features. This paper proposes a divided view method, in which features are modeled globally via the visibility crossattention mechanism, but interact only with partial features in a divided local virtual space. Our framework, named DVPE, achieves state-of-the-art performance (57.2% mAP and 64.5% NDS) on the nuScenes test set.

  Open-vocabulary-temporal action detection (OV-STAD) is an important fine-grained video understanding task. OV-STAD requires training a model on a limited set of base classes with box and label supervision. To better adapt the holistic VLM for the fine-grained action detection task, we carefully fine-tune it on the localized video region-text pairs.

  We introduce the task of spotting temporally precise, fine-grained events in video. Models must reason globally about the full-time scale of actions and locally to identify subtle frame-to-frame appearance and motion differences. We propose E2E-Spot, a compact, end-to-end model that performs well on the precise spotting task and can be trained quickly on a single GPU.

  We propose a unified action recognition framework to investigate the dynamic nature of video content.

Second, to accurately aggregate these cues into a global video representation, we propose to mine the interactions only among a few selected foreground objects by a Transformer.
