For a given video-based Human-Object Interaction scene, modeling the spatio-temporal relationship between humans and objects are the important cue to understand the contextual information presented in the video. With the effective spatio-temporal relationship modeling, it is possible not only to uncover contextual information in each frame but also to directly capture inter-time dependencies. It is more critical to capture the position changes of human and objects over the spatio-temporal dimension when their appearance features may not show up significant changes over time. The full use of appearance features, the spatial location and the semantic information are also the key to improve the video-based Human-Object Interaction recognition performance. In this paper, Spatio-Temporal Interaction Graph Parsing Networks (STIGPN) are constructed, which encode the videos with a graph composed of human and object nodes. These nodes are connected by two types of relations: (i) spatial relations modeling the interactions between human and the interacted objects within each frame. (ii) inter-time relations capturing the long range dependencies between human and the interacted objects across frame. With the graph, STIGPN learn spatio-temporal features directly from the whole video-based Human-Object Interaction scenes. Multi-modal features and a multi-stream fusion strategy are used to enhance the reasoning capability of STIGPN. Two Human-Object Interaction video datasets, including CAD-120 and Something-Else, are used to evaluate the proposed architectures, and the state-of-the-art performance demonstrates the superiority of STIGPN.

Rapid progress has been witnessed for human-object interaction (HOI) recognition, but most existing models are confined to single-stage reasoning pipelines. Considering the intrinsic complexity of the task, we introduce a cascade architecture for a multi-stage, coarse-to-fine HOI understanding. At each stage, an instance localization network progressively refines HOI proposals and feeds them into an interaction recognition network. Each of the two networks is also connected to its predecessor at the previous stage, enabling cross-stage information propagation. The interaction recognition network has two crucial parts: a relation ranking module for high-quality HOI proposal selection and a triple-stream classifier for relation prediction. With our carefully-designed human-centric relation features, these two modules work collaboratively towards effective interaction understanding. Further beyond relation detection on a bounding-box level, we make our framework flexible to perform fine-grained pixel-wise relation segmentation; this provides a new glimpse into better relation modeling. Our approach reached the $1^{st}$ place in the ICCV2019 Person in Context Challenge, on both relation detection and segmentation tasks. It also shows promising results on V-COCO.
Predicting the future paths of an agents neighbors accurately and in a timely manner is central to the autonomous applications for collision avoidance. Conventional approaches, e.g., LSTM-based models, take considerable computational costs in the prediction, especially for the long sequence prediction. To support more efficient and accurate trajectory predictions, we propose a novel CNN-based spatial-temporal graph framework GraphTCN, which models the spatial interactions as social graphs and captures the spatio-temporal interactions with a modified temporal convolutional network. In contrast to conventional models, both the spatial and temporal modeling of our model are computed within each local time window. Therefore, it can be executed in parallel for much higher efficiency, and meanwhile with accuracy comparable to best-performing approaches. Experimental results confirm that our model achieves better performance in terms of both efficiency and accuracy as compared with state-of-the-art models on various trajectory prediction benchmark datasets.
This paper revisits human-object interaction (HOI) recognition at image level without using supervisions of object location and human pose. We name it detection-free HOI recognition, in contrast to the existing detection-supervised approaches which rely on object and keypoint detections to achieve state of the art. With our method, not only the detection supervision is evitable, but superior performance can be achieved by properly using image-text pre-training (such as CLIP) and the proposed Log-Sum-Exp Sign (LSE-Sign) loss function. Specifically, using text embeddings of class labels to initialize the linear classifier is essential for leveraging the CLIP pre-trained image encoder. In addition, LSE-Sign loss facilitates learning from multiple labels on an imbalanced dataset by normalizing gradients over all classes in a softmax format. Surprisingly, our detection-free solution achieves 60.5 mAP on the HICO dataset, outperforming the detection-supervised state of the art by 13.4 mAP
Spatio-temporal action detection in videos requires localizing the action both spatially and temporally in the form of an action tube. Nowadays, most spatio-temporal action detection datasets (e.g. UCF101-24, AVA, DALY) are annotated with action tubes that contain a single person performing the action, thus the predominant action detection models simply employ a person detection and tracking pipeline for localization. However, when the action is defined as an interaction between multiple objects, such methods may fail since each bounding box in the action tube contains multiple objects instead of one person. In this paper, we study the spatio-temporal action detection problem with multi-object interaction. We introduce a new dataset that is annotated with action tubes containing multi-object interactions. Moreover, we propose an end-to-end spatio-temporal action detection model that performs both spatial and temporal regression simultaneously. Our spatial regression may enclose multiple objects participating in the action. During test time, we simply connect the regressed bounding boxes within the predicted temporal duration using a simple heuristic. We report the baseline results of our proposed model on this new dataset, and also show competitive results on the standard benchmark UCF101-24 using only RGB input.
Human-object interaction(HOI) detection is an important task for understanding human activity. Graph structure is appropriate to denote the HOIs in the scene. Since there is an subordination between human and object---human play subjective role and object play objective role in HOI, the relations between homogeneous entities and heterogeneous entities in the scene should also not be equally the same. However, previous graph models regard human and object as the same kind of nodes and do not consider that the messages are not equally the same between different entities. In this work, we address such a problem for HOI task by proposing a heterogeneous graph network that models humans and objects as different kinds of nodes and incorporates intra-class messages between homogeneous nodes and inter-class messages between heterogeneous nodes. In addition, a graph attention mechanism based on the intra-class context and inter-class context is exploited to improve the learning. Extensive experiments on the benchmark datasets V-COCO and HICO-DET demonstrate that the intra-class and inter-class messages are very important in HOI detection and verify the effectiveness of our method.
