GCM: Efficient video recognition with glance and combine module

作者:

Highlights:

• Glance and combine module (GCM), a highly efficient 3D spatio-temporal convolutional block is proposed for video action recognition.

• GCM performs an extra glancing at a higher scale to get a broader perspective of spatio-temporal features, then combines them at different scales.

• Ablation studies shows the proposed GCM is much more efficient than other forms of 3Dspatio-temporal convolutional blocks.

• On action recognition datasets, GCM achieves SOTA performance with less than two thirds the computational complexity of other models.

• On fine-grained action recognition dataset, GCM beats previous SOTA accuracy achieved with 2-stream methods by more than 6% using only RGB input.
