Hierarchical Attention Network for Action Segmentation
The temporal segmentation of events is an essential task and a precursor for
the automatic recognition of human actions in the video. Several attempts have
been made to capture frame-level salient aspects through attention but they
lack the capacity to effectively map the temporal relationships in between the
frames as they only capture a limited span of temporal dependencies. To this
end we propose a complete end-to-end supervised learning approach that can
better learn relationships between actions over time, thus improving the
overall segmentation performance. The proposed hierarchical recurrent attention
framework analyses the input video at multiple temporal scales, to form
embeddings at frame level and segment level, and perform fine-grained action
segmentation. This generates a simple, lightweight, yet extremely effective
architecture for segmenting continuous video streams and has multiple
application domains. We evaluate our system on multiple challenging public
benchmark datasets, including MERL Shopping, 50 salads, and Georgia Tech
Egocentric datasets, and achieves state-of-the-art performance. The evaluated
datasets encompass numerous video capture settings which are inclusive of
static overhead camera views and dynamic, ego-centric head-mounted camera
views, demonstrating the direct applicability of the proposed framework in a
variety of settings.Comment: Published in Pattern Recognition Letter
Survey on Vision-based Path Prediction
Path prediction is a fundamental task for estimating how pedestrians or
vehicles are going to move in a scene. Because path prediction as a task of
computer vision uses video as input, various information used for prediction,
such as the environment surrounding the target and the internal state of the
target, need to be estimated from the video in addition to predicting paths.
Many prediction approaches that include understanding the environment and the
internal state have been proposed. In this survey, we systematically summarize
methods of path prediction that take video as input and and extract features
from the video. Moreover, we introduce datasets used to evaluate path
prediction methods quantitatively.Comment: DAPI 201
