Compressed Video Action Recognition

In CVPR, 2018. [Project Page]

Overview

This is a reimplementation of CoViAR in PyTorch (the original paper uses MXNet). This code currently supports UCF-101 and HMDB-51; Charades coming soon. (This is a work in progress. Any suggestions are appreciated.)

Results

This code produces comparable or better results than the original paper:
HMDB-51: 52% (I-frame), 40% (motion vector), 43% (residuals), 59.2% (CoViAR).
UCF-101: 87% (I-frame), 70% (motion vector), 80% (residuals), 90.5% (CoViAR).
(average of 3 splits; without optical flow. )

Data loader

We provide a python data loader that directly takes a compressed video and returns the compressed representation (I-frames, motion vectors, and residuals) as a numpy array . We can thus train the model without extracting and storing all representations as image files.

In our experiments, it's fast enough so that it doesn't delay GPU training. Please see GETTING_STARTED.md for details and instructions.

Using CoViAR

Please see GETTING_STARTED.md for instructions for training and inference.

This implementation largely borrows from tsn-pytorch by yjxiong. Part of the dataloader implementation is modified from this tutorial and FFmpeg extract_mv example.
