We tackle the challenging problem of human-object interaction (HOI) detection. Existing methods either recognize the interaction of each human-object pair in isolation or perform joint inference based on complex appearance-based features. In this paper, we leverage an abstract spatial-semantic representation to describe each human-object pair and aggregate the contextual information of the scene via a dual relation graph (one human-centric and one object-centric). Our proposed dual relation graph effectively captures discriminative cues from the scene to resolve ambiguity from local predictions. Our model is conceptually simple and leads to favorable results compared to the state-of-the-art HOI detection algorithms on two large-scale benchmark datasets.

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.
Human-Object Interaction (HOI) detection devotes to learn how humans interact with surrounding objects via inferring triplets of < human, verb, object >. However, recent HOI detection methods mostly rely on additional annotations (e.g., human pose) and neglect powerful interactive reasoning beyond convolutions. In this paper, we present a novel graph-based interactive reasoning model called Interactive Graph (abbr. in-Graph) to infer HOIs, in which interactive semantics implied among visual targets are efficiently exploited. The proposed model consists of a project function that maps related targets from convolution space to a graph-based semantic space, a message passing process propagating semantics among all nodes and an update function transforming the reasoned nodes back to convolution space. Furthermore, we construct a new framework to assemble in-Graph models for detecting HOIs, namely in-GraphNet. Beyond inferring HOIs using instance features respectively, the framework dynamically parses pairwise interactive semantics among visual targets by integrating two-level in-Graphs, i.e., scene-wide and instance-wide in-Graphs. Our framework is end-to-end trainable and free from costly annotations like human pose. Extensive experiments show that our proposed framework outperforms existing HOI detection methods on both V-COCO and HICO-DET benchmarks and improves the baseline about 9.4% and 15% relatively, validating its efficacy in detecting HOIs.
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
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.
Human-Object Interaction (HOI) Detection is an important problem to understand how humans interact with objects. In this paper, we explore Interactiveness Knowledge which indicates whether human and object interact with each other or not. We found that interactiveness knowledge can be learned across HOI datasets, regardless of HOI category settings. Our core idea is to exploit an Interactiveness Network to learn the general interactiveness knowledge from multiple HOI datasets and perform Non-Interaction Suppression before HOI classification in inference. On account of the generalization of interactiveness, interactiveness network is a transferable knowledge learner and can be cooperated with any HOI detection models to achieve desirable results. We extensively evaluate the proposed method on HICO-DET and V-COCO datasets. Our framework outperforms state-of-the-art HOI detection results by a great margin, verifying its efficacy and flexibility.
