Unsupervised Learning of Long-Term Motion Dynamics for Videos
We present an unsupervised representation learning approach that compactly
encodes the motion dependencies in videos. Given a pair of images from a video
clip, our framework learns to predict the long-term 3D motions. To reduce the
complexity of the learning framework, we propose to describe the motion as a
sequence of atomic 3D flows computed with RGB-D modality. We use a Recurrent
Neural Network based Encoder-Decoder framework to predict these sequences of
flows. We argue that in order for the decoder to reconstruct these sequences,
the encoder must learn a robust video representation that captures long-term
motion dependencies and spatial-temporal relations. We demonstrate the
effectiveness of our learned temporal representations on activity
classification across multiple modalities and datasets such as NTU RGB+D and
MSR Daily Activity 3D. Our framework is generic to any input modality, i.e.,
RGB, Depth, and RGB-D videos.Comment: CVPR 201
NTU RGB+D 120: A Large-Scale Benchmark for 3D Human Activity Understanding
Research on depth-based human activity analysis achieved outstanding
performance and demonstrated the effectiveness of 3D representation for action
recognition. The existing depth-based and RGB+D-based action recognition
benchmarks have a number of limitations, including the lack of large-scale
training samples, realistic number of distinct class categories, diversity in
camera views, varied environmental conditions, and variety of human subjects.
In this work, we introduce a large-scale dataset for RGB+D human action
recognition, which is collected from 106 distinct subjects and contains more
than 114 thousand video samples and 8 million frames. This dataset contains 120
different action classes including daily, mutual, and health-related
activities. We evaluate the performance of a series of existing 3D activity
analysis methods on this dataset, and show the advantage of applying deep
learning methods for 3D-based human action recognition. Furthermore, we
investigate a novel one-shot 3D activity recognition problem on our dataset,
and a simple yet effective Action-Part Semantic Relevance-aware (APSR)
framework is proposed for this task, which yields promising results for
recognition of the novel action classes. We believe the introduction of this
large-scale dataset will enable the community to apply, adapt, and develop
various data-hungry learning techniques for depth-based and RGB+D-based human
activity understanding. [The dataset is available at:
