Effectively modeling discriminative spatio-temporal information is essential for segmenting activities in long action sequences. However, we observe that existing methods are limited in weak spatio-temporal modeling capability due to two forms of decoupled modeling: (i) cascaded interaction couples spatial and temporal modeling, which over-smooths motion modeling over the long sequence, and (ii) joint-shared temporal modeling adopts shared weights to model each joint, ignoring the distinct motion patterns of different joints. We propose a Decoupled Spatio-Temporal Framework (DeST) to address the above issues. Firstly, we decouple the cascaded spatio-temporal interaction to avoid stacking multiple spatio-temporal blocks, while achieving sufficient spatio-temporal interaction. Specifically, DeST performs once unified spatial modeling and divides the spatial features into different groups of subfeatures, which then adaptively interact with temporal features from different layers. Since the different sub-features contain distinct spatial semantics, the model could learn the optimal interaction pattern at each layer. Meanwhile, inspired by the fact that different joints move at different speeds, we propose joint-decoupled temporal modeling, which employs independent trainable weights to capture distinctive temporal features of each joint. On four large-scale benchmarks of different scenes, DeST significantly outperforms current state-of-the-art methods with less computational complexity.
Recent progress in the text-driven 3D stylization of a single object has been considerably promoted by CLIP-based methods. However, the stylization of multi-object 3D scenes is still impeded in that the image-text pairs used for pre-training CLIP mostly consist of an object. Meanwhile, the local details of multiple objects may be susceptible to omission due to the existing supervision manner primarily relying on coarse-grained contrast of image-text pairs. To overcome these challenges, we present a novel framework, dubbed TeMO, to parse multi-object 3D scenes and edit their styles under the contrast supervision at multiple levels. We first propose a Decoupled Graph Attention (DGA) module to distinguishably reinforce the features of 3D surface points. Particularly, a cross-modal graph is constructed to align the object points accurately and noun phrases decoupled from the 3D mesh and textual description. Then, we develop a Cross-Grained Contrast (CGC) supervision system, where a fine-grained loss between the words in the textual description and the randomly rendered images are constructed to complement the coarse-grained loss. Extensive experiments show that our method can synthesize high-quality stylized content and outperform the existing methods over a wide range of multi-object 3D meshes. Our code and results will be made publicly available
Temporal Action Segmentation (TAS) from video is a kind of frame recognition task for long video with multiple action classes. As an video understanding task for long videos, current methods typically combine multi-modality action recognition models with temporal models to convert feature sequences to label sequences. This approach can only be applied to offline scenarios, which severely limits the TAS application. Therefore, this paper proposes an end-to-end Streaming Video Temporal Action Segmentation with Reinforce Learning (SVTAS-RL). The end-to-end SVTAS which regard TAS as an action segment clustering task can expand the application scenarios of TAS; and RL is used to alleviate the problem of inconsistent optimization objective and direction. Through extensive experiments, the SVTAS-RL model achieves a competitive performance to the state-of-the-art model of TAS on multiple datasets, and shows greater advantages on the ultra-long video dataset EGTEA. This indicates that our method can replace all current TAS models end-to-end and SVTAS-RL is more suitable for long video TAS. Code is availabel at https://github.com/Thinksky5124/SVTAS.
Temporal action segmentation (TAS) is a critical step toward long-term video understanding. Recent studies follow a pattern that builds models based on features instead of raw video picture information. However, we claim those models are trained complicatedly and limit application scenarios. It is hard for them to segment human actions of video in real time because they must work after the full video features are extracted. As the real-time action segmentation task is different from TAS task, we define it as streaming video real-time temporal action segmentation (SVTAS) task. In this paper, we propose a real-time end-to-end multi-modality model for SVTAS task. More specifically, under the circumstances that we cannot get any future information, we segment the current human action of streaming video chunk in real time. Furthermore, the model we propose combines the last steaming video chunk feature extracted by language model with the current image feature extracted by image model to improve the quantity of real-time temporal action segmentation. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first multi-modality real-time temporal action segmentation model. Under the same evaluation criteria as full video temporal action segmentation, our model segments human action in real time with less than 40% of state-of-the-art model computation and achieves 90% of the accuracy of the full video state-of-the-art model.
