Most state-of-the-art action feature extractors involve differential operators, which act as highpass filters and tend to attenuate low frequency action information. This attenuation introduces bias to the resulting features and generates ill-conditioned feature matrices. The Gaussian Pyramid has been used as a feature enhancing technique that encodes scale-invariant characteristics into the feature space in an attempt to deal with this attenuation. However, at the core of the Gaussian Pyramid is a convolutional smoothing operation, which makes it incapable of generating new features at coarse scales. In order to address this problem, we propose a novel feature enhancing technique called Multi-skIp Feature Stacking (MIFS), which stacks features extracted using a family of differential filters parameterized with multiple time skips and encodes shift-invariance into the frequency space. MIFS compensates for information lost from using differential operators by recapturing information at coarse scales. This recaptured information allows us to match actions at different speeds and ranges of motion. We prove that MIFS enhances the learnability of differential-based features exponentially. The resulting feature matrices from MIFS have much smaller conditional numbers and variances than those from conventional methods. Experimental results show significantly improved performance on challenging action recognition and event detection tasks. Specifically, our method exceeds the state-of-the-arts on Hollywood2, UCF101 and UCF50 datasets and is comparable to state-of-the-arts on HMDB51 and Olympics Sports datasets. MIFS can also be used as a speedup strategy for feature extraction with minimal or no accuracy cost.

Historically, researchers in the field have spent a great deal of effort to create image representations that have scale invariance and retain spatial location information. This paper proposes to encode equivalent temporal characteristics in video re
presentations for action recognition. To achieve temporal scale invariance, we develop a method called temporal scale pyramid (TSP). To encode temporal information, we present and compare two methods called temporal extension descriptor (TED) and temporal division pyramid (TDP) . Our purpose is to suggest solutions for matching complex actions that have large variation in velocity and appearance, which is missing from most current action representations. The experimental results on four benchmark datasets, UCF50, HMDB51, Hollywood2 and Olympic Sports, support our approach and significantly outperform state-of-the-art methods. Most noticeably, we achieve 65.0% mean accuracy and 68.2% mean average precision on the challenging HMDB51 and Hollywood2 datasets which constitutes an absolute improvement over the state-of-the-art by 7.8% and 3.9%, respectively.
We investigate the problem of representing an entire video using CNN features for human action recognition. Currently, limited by GPU memory, we have not been able to feed a whole video into CNN/RNNs for end-to-end learning. A common practice is to u
se sampled frames as inputs and video labels as supervision. One major problem of this popular approach is that the local samples may not contain the information indicated by global labels. To deal with this problem, we propose to treat the deep networks trained on local inputs as local feature extractors. After extracting local features, we aggregate them into global features and train another mapping function on the same training data to map the global features into global labels. We study a set of problems regarding this new type of local features such as how to aggregate them into global features. Experimental results on HMDB51 and UCF101 datasets show that, for these new local features, a simple maximum pooling on the sparsely sampled features lead to significant performance improvement.
Spatio-temporal representations in frame sequences play an important role in the task of action recognition. Previously, a method of using optical flow as a temporal information in combination with a set of RGB images that contain spatial information
has shown great performance enhancement in the action recognition tasks. However, it has an expensive computational cost and requires two-stream (RGB and optical flow) framework. In this paper, we propose MFNet (Motion Feature Network) containing motion blocks which make it possible to encode spatio-temporal information between adjacent frames in a unified network that can be trained end-to-end. The motion block can be attached to any existing CNN-based action recognition frameworks with only a small additional cost. We evaluated our network on two of the action recognition datasets (Jester and Something-Something) and achieved competitive performances for both datasets by training the networks from scratch.
Recognition of human actions and associated interactions with objects and the environment is an important problem in computer vision due to its potential applications in a variety of domains. The most versatile methods can generalize to various envir
onments and deal with cluttered backgrounds, occlusions, and viewpoint variations. Among them, methods based on graph convolutional networks that extract features from the skeleton have demonstrated promising performance. In this paper, we propose a novel Spatio-Temporal Pyramid Graph Convolutional Network (ST-PGN) for online action recognition for ergonomic risk assessment that enables the use of features from all levels of the skeleton feature hierarchy. The proposed algorithm outperforms state-of-art action recognition algorithms tested on two public benchmark datasets typically used for postural assessment (TUM and UW-IOM). We also introduce a pipeline to enhance postural assessment methods with online action recognition techniques. Finally, the proposed algorithm is integrated with a traditional ergonomic risk index (REBA) to demonstrate the potential value for assessment of musculoskeletal disorders in occupational safety.
Human action recognition is an active research area in computer vision. Although great process has been made, previous methods mostly recognize actions based on depth data at only one scale, and thus they often neglect multi-scale features that provi
de additional information action recognition in practical application scenarios. In this paper, we present a novel framework focusing on multi-scale motion information to recognize human actions from depth video sequences. We propose a multi-scale feature map called Laplacian pyramid depth motion images(LP-DMI). We employ depth motion images (DMI) as the templates to generate the multi-scale static representation of actions. Then, we caculate LP-DMI to enhance multi-scale dynamic information of motions and reduces redundant static information in human bodies. We further extract the multi-granularity descriptor called LP-DMI-HOG to provide more discriminative features. Finally, we utilize extreme learning machine (ELM) for action classification. The proposed method yeilds the recognition accuracy of 93.41%, 85.12%, 91.94% on public MSRAction3D dataset, UTD-MHAD and DHA dataset. Through extensive experiments, we prove that our method outperforms state-of-the-art benchmarks.
