论文摘要
动作检测的任务旨在在每个动作实例中同时推论动作类别和终点的本地化。尽管Vision Transformers推动了视频理解的最新进展，但由于在长时间的视频剪辑中，设计有效的架构以进行动作检测是不平凡的。为此，我们提出了一个有效的层次时空时空金字塔变压器（STPT）进行动作检测，这是基于以下事实：变压器中早期的自我注意力层仍然集中在局部模式上。具体而言，我们建议在早期阶段使用本地窗口注意来编码丰富的局部时空时空表示，同时应用全局注意模块以捕获后期的长期时空依赖性。这样，我们的STPT可以用冗余的大大减少来编码区域和依赖性，从而在准确性和效率之间进行有希望的权衡。例如，仅使用RGB输入，拟议的STPT在Thumos14上获得了53.6％的地图，超过10％的I3D+AFSD RGB模型超过10％，并且对使用其他流量的最先进的AFSD进行了有益的表现，该流程使用了31％的GFLOPS，其较少的GFLOPS可作为有效，有效的端到端到端式变速箱框架，以实现基于端到端的变形工具，以实现基于型号的框架。
The task of action detection aims at deducing both the action category and localization of the start and end moment for each action instance in a long, untrimmed video. While vision Transformers have driven the recent advances in video understanding, it is non-trivial to design an efficient architecture for action detection due to the prohibitively expensive self-attentions over a long sequence of video clips. To this end, we present an efficient hierarchical Spatio-Temporal Pyramid Transformer (STPT) for action detection, building upon the fact that the early self-attention layers in Transformers still focus on local patterns. Specifically, we propose to use local window attention to encode rich local spatio-temporal representations in the early stages while applying global attention modules to capture long-term space-time dependencies in the later stages. In this way, our STPT can encode both locality and dependency with largely reduced redundancy, delivering a promising trade-off between accuracy and efficiency. For example, with only RGB input, the proposed STPT achieves 53.6% mAP on THUMOS14, surpassing I3D+AFSD RGB model by over 10% and performing favorably against state-of-the-art AFSD that uses additional flow features with 31% fewer GFLOPs, which serves as an effective and efficient end-to-end Transformer-based framework for action detection.
