We present Mobile Video Networks (MoViNets), a family of computation and memory efficient video networks that can operate on streaming video for online inference. 3D convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are accurate at video recognition but require large computation and memory budgets and do not support online inference, making them difficult to work on mobile devices. We propose a three-step approach to improve computational efficiency while substantially reducing the peak memory usage of 3D CNNs. First, we design a video network search space and employ neural architecture search to generate efficient and diverse 3D CNN architectures. Second, we introduce the Stream Buffer technique that decouples memory from video clip duration, allowing 3D CNNs to embed arbitrary-length streaming video sequences for both training and inference with a small constant memory footprint. Third, we propose a simple ensembling technique to improve accuracy further without sacrificing efficiency. These three progressive techniques allow MoViNets to achieve state-of-the-art accuracy and efficiency on the Kinetics, Moments in Time, and Charades video action recognition datasets. For instance, MoViNet-A5-Stream achieves the same accuracy as X3D-XL on Kinetics 600 while requiring 80% fewer FLOPs and 65% less memory. Code will be made available at https://github.com/tensorflow/models/tree/master/official/vision.

Multi-modal learning, which focuses on utilizing various modalities to improve the performance of a model, is widely used in video recognition. While traditional multi-modal learning offers excellent recognition results, its computational expense lim its its impact for many real-world applications. In this paper, we propose an adaptive multi-modal learning framework, called AdaMML, that selects on-the-fly the optimal modalities for each segment conditioned on the input for efficient video recognition. Specifically, given a video segment, a multi-modal policy network is used to decide what modalities should be used for processing by the recognition model, with the goal of improving both accuracy and efficiency. We efficiently train the policy network jointly with the recognition model using standard back-propagation. Extensive experiments on four challenging diverse datasets demonstrate that our proposed adaptive approach yields 35%-55% reduction in computation when compared to the traditional baseline that simply uses all the modalities irrespective of the input, while also achieving consistent improvements in accuracy over the state-of-the-art methods.

Video action recognition, which is topical in computer vision and video analysis, aims to allocate a short video clip to a pre-defined category such as brushing hair or climbing stairs. Recent works focus on action recognition with deep neural networ ks that achieve state-of-the-art results in need of high-performance platforms. Despite the fast development of mobile computing, video action recognition on mobile devices has not been fully discussed. In this paper, we focus on the novel mobile video action recognition task, where only the computational capabilities of mobile devices are accessible. Instead of raw videos with huge storage, we choose to extract multiple modalities (including I-frames, motion vectors, and residuals) directly from compressed videos. By employing MobileNetV2 as backbone, we propose a novel Temporal Trilinear Pooling (TTP) module to fuse the multiple modalities for mobile video action recognition. In addition to motion vectors, we also provide a temporal fusion method to explicitly induce the temporal context. The efficiency test on a mobile device indicates that our model can perform mobile video action recognition at about 40FPS. The comparative results on two benchmarks show that our model outperforms existing action recognition methods in model size and time consuming, but with competitive accuracy.
In this paper, we explore the spatial redundancy in video recognition with the aim to improve the computational efficiency. It is observed that the most informative region in each frame of a video is usually a small image patch, which shifts smoothly across frames. Therefore, we model the patch localization problem as a sequential decision task, and propose a reinforcement learning based approach for efficient spatially adaptive video recognition (AdaFocus). In specific, a light-weighted ConvNet is first adopted to quickly process the full video sequence, whose features are used by a recurrent policy network to localize the most task-relevant regions. Then the selected patches are inferred by a high-capacity network for the final prediction. During offline inference, once the informative patch sequence has been generated, the bulk of computation can be done in parallel, and is efficient on modern GPU devices. In addition, we demonstrate that the proposed method can be easily extended by further considering the temporal redundancy, e.g., dynamically skipping less valuable frames. Extensive experiments on five benchmark datasets, i.e., ActivityNet, FCVID, Mini-Kinetics, Something-Something V1&V2, demonstrate that our method is significantly more efficient than the competitive baselines.

Deep learning has achieved great success in recognizing video actions, but the collection and annotation of training data are still quite laborious, which mainly lies in two aspects: (1) the amount of required annotated data is large; (2) temporally annotating the location of each action is time-consuming. Works such as few-shot learning or untrimmed video recognition have been proposed to handle either one aspect or the other. However, very few existing works can handle both issues simultaneously. In this paper, we target a new problem, Annotation-Efficient Video Recognition, to reduce the requirement of annotations for both large amount of samples and the action location. Such problem is challenging due to two aspects: (1) the untrimmed videos only have weak supervision; (2) video segments not relevant to current actions of interests (background, BG) could contain actions of interests (foreground, FG) in novel classes, which is a widely existing phenomenon but has rarely been studied in few-shot untrimmed video recognition. To achieve this goal, by analyzing the property of BG, we categorize BG into informative BG (IBG) and non-informative BG (NBG), and we propose (1) an open-set detection based method to find the NBG and FG, (2) a contrastive learning method to learn IBG and distinguish NBG in a self-supervised way, and (3) a self-weighting mechanism for the better distinguishing of IBG and FG. Extensive experiments on ActivityNet v1.2 and ActivityNet v1.3 verify the rationale and effectiveness of the proposed methods.

Temporal modeling in videos is a fundamental yet challenging problem in computer vision. In this paper, we propose a novel Temporal Bilinear (TB) model to capture the temporal pairwise feature interactions between adjacent frames. Compared with some existing temporal methods which are limited in linear transformations, our TB model considers explicit quadratic bilinear transformations in the temporal domain for motion evolution and sequential relation modeling. We further leverage the factorized bilinear model in linear complexity and a bottleneck network design to build our TB blocks, which also constrains the parameters and computation cost. We consider two schemes in terms of the incorporation of TB blocks and the original 2D spatial convolutions, namely wide and deep Temporal Bilinear Networks (TBN). Finally, we perform experiments on several widely adopted datasets including Kinetics, UCF101 and HMDB51. The effectiveness of our TBNs is validated by comprehensive ablation analyses and comparisons with various state-of-the-art methods.
