Skeleton-based action recognition has attracted research attentions in recent years. One common drawback in currently popular skeleton-based human action recognition methods is that the sparse skeleton information alone is not sufficient to fully characterize human motion. This limitation makes several existing methods incapable of correctly classifying action categories which exhibit only subtle motion differences. In this paper, we propose a novel framework for employing human pose skeleton and joint-centered light-weight information jointly in a two-stream graph convolutional network, namely, JOLO-GCN. Specifically, we use Joint-aligned optical Flow Patches (JFP) to capture the local subtle motion around each joint as the pivotal joint-centered visual information. Compared to the pure skeleton-based baseline, this hybrid scheme effectively boosts performance, while keeping the computational and memory overheads low. Experiments on the NTU RGB+D, NTU RGB+D 120, and the Kinetics-Skeleton dataset demonstrate clear accuracy improvements attained by the proposed method over the state-of-the-art skeleton-based methods.

Human skeleton data has received increasing attention in action recognition due to its background robustness and high efficiency. In skeleton-based action recognition, graph convolutional network (GCN) has become the mainstream method. This paper analyzes the fundamental factor for GCN-based models -- the adjacency matrix. We notice that most GCN-based methods conduct their adjacency matrix based on the human natural skeleton structure. Based on our former work and analysis, we propose that the human natural skeleton structure adjacency matrix is not proper for skeleton-based action recognitio…

Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) have attracted increasing interests for the task of skeleton-based action recognition. The key lies in the design of the graph structure, which encodes skeleton topology information. In this paper, we propose Dynamic GCN, in which a novel convolutional neural network named Contextencoding Network (CeN) is introduced to learn skeleton topology automatically. In particular, when learning the dependency between two joints, contextual features from the rest joints are incorporated in a global manner. CeN is extremely lightweight yet effective, and can be embedde…

Graph convolution networks (GCN) have been widely used in skeleton-based action recognition. We note that existing GCN-based approaches primarily rely on prescribed graphical structures (ie., a manually defined topology of skeleton joints), which limits their flexibility to capture complicated correlations between joints. To move beyond this limitation, we propose a new framework for skeleton-based action recognition, namely Dynamic Group Spatio-Temporal GCN (DG-STGCN). It consists of two modules, DG-GCN and DG-TCN, respectively, for spatial and temporal modeling. In particular, DG-GCN uses le…

Current methods for skeleton-based human action recognition usually work with complete skeletons. However, in real scenarios, it is inevitable to capture incomplete or noisy skeletons, which could significantly deteriorate the performance of current methods when some informative joints are occluded or disturbed. To improve the robustness of action recognition models, a multi-stream graph convolutional network (GCN) is proposed to explore sufficient discriminative features spreading over all skeleton joints, so that the distributed redundant representation reduces the sensitivity of the action …

Current methods for skeleton-based human action recognition usually work with completely observed skeletons. However, in real scenarios, it is prone to capture incomplete and noisy skeletons, which will deteriorate the performance of traditional models. To enhance the robustness of action recognition models to incomplete skeletons, we propose a multi-stream graph convolutional network (GCN) for exploring sufficient discriminative features distributed over all skeleton joints. Here, each stream of the network is only responsible for learning features from currently unactivated joints, which are…
Skeleton-based action recognition aims to project skeleton sequences to action categories, where skeleton sequences are derived from multiple forms of pre-detected points. Compared with earlier methods that focus on exploring single-form skeletons via Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs), existing methods tend to improve GCNs by leveraging multi-form skeletons due to their complementary cues. However, these methods (either adapting structure of GCNs or model ensemble) require the co-existence of all forms of skeletons during both training and inference stages, while a typical situation in real …
In this paper, we present Fusion-GCN, an approach for multimodal action recognition using Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs). Action recognition methods based around GCNs recently yielded state-of-the-art performance for skeleton-based action recognition. With Fusion-GCN, we propose to integrate various sensor data modalities into a graph that is trained using a GCN model for multi-modal action recognition. Additional sensor measurements are incorporated into the graph representation, either on a channel dimension (introducing additional node attributes) or spatial dimension (introducing new …

With the prevalence of accessible depth sensors, dynamic human body skeletons have attracted much attention as a robust modality for action recognition. Previous methods model skeletons based on RNN or CNN, which has limited expressive power for irregular skeleton joints. While graph convolutional networks (GCN) have been proposed to address irregular graph-structured data, the fundamental graph construction remains challenging. In this paper, we represent skeletons naturally on graphs, and propose a graph regression based GCN (GR-GCN) for skeleton-based action recognition, aiming to capture t…
Graph convolutional networks (GCNs) have been very successful in modeling non-Euclidean data structures, like sequences of body skeletons forming actions modeled as spatio-temporal graphs. Most GCN-based action recognition methods use deep feed-forward networks with high computational complexity to process all skeletons in an action. This leads to a high number of floating point operations (ranging from 16G to 100G FLOPs) to process a single sample, making their adoption in restricted computation application scenarios infeasible. In this paper, we propose a temporal attention module (TAM) for …

Human skeleton, as a compact representation of human action, has received increasing attention in recent years. Many skeleton-based action recognition methods adopt graph convolutional networks (GCN) to extract features on top of human skeletons. Despite the positive results shown in previous works, GCN-based methods are subject to limitations in robustness, interoperability, and scalability. In this work, we propose PoseC3D, a new approach to skeleton-based action recognition, which relies on a 3D heatmap stack instead of a graph sequence as the base representation of human skeletons. Compare…

The toolbox supports a wide variety of skeleton action recognition algorithms, including approaches based on GCN and CNN. In contrast to existing open-source skeleton action recognition projects that include only one or two algorithms, PYSKL implements six different algorithms under a unified framework with both the latest and original good practices to ease the comparison of efficacy and efficiency. We also provide an original GCN-based skeleton action recognition model named ST-GCN++, which achie…

Human action recognition from skeleton data, fueled by the Graph Convolutional Network (GCN), has attracted lots of attention, due to its powerful capability of modeling non-Euclidean structure data. However, many existing GCN methods provide a pre-defined graph and fix it through the entire network, which can loss implicit joint correlations. Besides, the mainstream spectral GCN is approximated by one-order hop, thus higher-order connections are not well involved. Therefore, huge efforts are required to explore a better GCN architecture. To address these problems, we turn to Neural Architectu…
Graph convolutional networks (GCNs) achieved promising performance in skeleton-based human action recognition by modeling a sequence of skeletons as a spatio-temporal graph. Most of the recently proposed GCN-based methods improve the performance by learning the graph structure at each layer of the network using a spatial attention applied on a predefined graph Adjacency matrix that is optimized jointly with model's parameters in an end-to-end manner. In this paper, we analyze the spatial attention used in spatio-temporal GCN layers and propose a symmetric spatial attention for better reflectin…
Spectral graph convolutional networks (GCNs) are particular deep models which aim at extending neural networks to arbitrary irregular domains. The principle of these networks consists in projecting graph signals using the eigen-decomposition of their Laplacians, then achieving filtering in the spectral domain prior to back-project the resulting filtered signals onto the input graph domain. However, the success of these operations is highly dependent on the relevance of the used Laplacians which are mostly handcrafted and this makes GCNs clearly sub-optimal. In this paper, we introduce a novel …

Learning graph convolutional networks (GCNs) is an emerging field which aims at generalizing convolutional operations to arbitrary non-regular domains. In particular, GCNs operating on spatial domains show superior performances compared to spectral ones, however their success is highly dependent on how the topology of input graphs is defined. In this paper, we introduce a novel framework for graph convolutional networks that learns the topological properties of graphs. The design principle of our method is based on the optimization of a constrained objective function which learns not only the …

Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) have already demonstrated their powerful ability to model the irregular data, e.g., skeletal data in human action recognition, providing an exciting new way to fuse rich structural information for nodes residing in different parts of a graph. In human action recognition, current works introduce a dynamic graph generation mechanism to better capture the underlying semantic skeleton connections and thus improves the performance. In this paper, we provide an orthogonal way to explore the underlying connections. Instead of introducing an expensive dynamic graph …

It is known that the kinematics of the human body skeleton reveals valuable information in action recognition. Recently, modeling skeletons as spatio-temporal graphs with Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs) has been reported to solidly advance the state-of-the-art performance. However, GCN-based approaches exclusively learn from raw skeleton data, and are expected to extract the inherent structural information on their own. This paper describes REGINA, introducing a novel way to REasoning Graph convolutional networks IN Human Action recognition. The rationale is to provide to the GCNs addition…

Skeleton-based action recognition has attracted considerable attention in computer vision since skeleton data is more robust to the dynamic circumstance and complicated background than other modalities. Recently, many researchers have used the Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) to model spatial-temporal features of skeleton sequences by an end-to-end optimization. However, conventional GCNs are feedforward networks which are impossible for low-level layers to access semantic information in the high-level layers. In this paper, we propose a novel network, named Feedback Graph Convolutional Netwo…
Graph convolutional networks (GCNs) based methods have achieved advanced performance on skeleton-based action recognition task. However, the skeleton graph cannot fully represent the motion information contained in skeleton data. In addition, the topology of the skeleton graph in the GCN-based methods is manually set according to natural connections, and it is fixed for all samples, which cannot well adapt to different situations. In this work, we propose a novel dynamic hypergraph convolutional networks (DHGCN) for skeleton-based action recognition. DHGCN uses hypergraph to represent the skel…
In recent years, graph convolutional networks (GCNs) play an increasingly critical role in skeleton-based human action recognition. However, most GCN-based methods still have two main limitations: 1) They only consider the motion information of the joints or process the joints and bones separately, which are unable to fully explore the latent functional correlation between joints and bones for action recognition. 2) Most of these works are performed in the supervised learning way, which heavily relies on massive labeled training data. To address these issues, we propose a semi-supervised skele…

Skeleton-based action recognition aims to recognize human actions given human joint coordinates with skeletal interconnections. By defining a graph with joints as vertices and their natural connections as edges, previous works successfully adopted Graph Convolutional networks (GCNs) to model joint co-occurrences and achieved superior performance. More recently, a limitation of GCNs is identified, i.e., the topology is fixed after training. To relax such a restriction, Self-Attention (SA) mechanism has been adopted to make the topology of GCNs adaptive to the input, resulting in the state-of-th…
In the context of skeleton-based action recognition, graph convolutional networks (GCNs) have been rapidly developed, whereas convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have received less attention. One reason is that CNNs are considered poor in modeling the irregular skeleton topology. To alleviate this limitation, we propose a pure CNN architecture named Topology-aware CNN (Ta-CNN) in this paper. In particular, we develop a novel cross-channel feature augmentation module, which is a combo of map-attend-group-map operations. By applying the module to the coordinate level and the joint level subsequ…

This paper proposes a new graph convolutional operator called central difference graph convolution (CDGC) for skeleton based action recognition. It is not only able to aggregate node information like a vanilla graph convolutional operation but also gradient information. Without introducing any additional parameters, CDGC can replace vanilla graph convolution in any existing Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs). In addition, an accelerated version of the CDGC is developed which greatly improves the speed of training. Experiments on two popular large-scale datasets NTU RGB+D 60 & 120 have demonst…

Skeleton-based action recognition has become popular in recent years due to its efficiency and robustness. Most current methods adopt graph convolutional network (GCN) for topology modeling, but GCN-based methods are limited in long-distance correlation modeling and generalizability. In contrast, the potential of convolutional neural network (CNN) for topology modeling has not been fully explored. In this paper, we propose a novel CNN architecture, Temporal-Channel Topology Enhanced Network (TCTE-Net), to learn spatial and temporal topologies for skeleton-based action recognition. The TCTE-Net…

In skeleton-based action recognition, graph convolutional networks (GCNs), which model the human body skeletons as spatiotemporal graphs, have achieved remarkable performance. However, in existing GCN-based methods, the topology of the graph is set manually, and it is fixed over all layers and input samples. This may not be optimal for the hierarchical GCN and diverse samples in action recognition tasks. In addition, the second-order information (the lengths and directions of bones) of the skeleton data, which is naturally more informative and discriminative for action recognition, is rarely i…
Graph convolutional networks (GCNs), which can model the human body skeletons as spatial and temporal graphs, have shown remarkable potential in skeleton-based action recognition. However, in the existing GCN-based methods, graph-structured representation of the human skeleton makes it difficult to be fused with other modalities, especially in the early stages. This may limit their scalability and performance in action recognition tasks. In addition, the pose information, which naturally contains informative and discriminative clues for action recognition, is rarely explored together with skel…

Graph convolutional networks (GCNs) have been widely used and achieved remarkable results in skeleton-based action recognition. In GCNs, graph topology dominates feature aggregation and therefore is the key to extracting representative features. In this work, we propose a novel Channel-wise Topology Refinement Graph Convolution (CTR-GC) to dynamically learn different topologies and effectively aggregate joint features in different channels for skeleton-based action recognition. The proposed CTR-GC models channel-wise topologies through learning a shared topology as a generic prior for all chan…
Graph convolutional networks (GCNs), which generalize CNNs to more generic non-Euclidean structures, have achieved remarkable performance for skeleton-based action recognition.

This may not be suitable for the hierarchy of the GCN model and the diversity of the data in action recognition tasks. Second, the second-order information of the skeleton data, i.e., the length and orientation of the bones, is rarely invest…

Action recognition with skeleton data has recently attracted much attention in computer vision. Previous studies are mostly based on fixed skeleton graphs, only capturing local physical dependencies among joints, which may miss implicit joint correlations. To capture richer dependencies, we introduce an encoder-decoder structure, called A-link inference module, to capture action-specific latent dependencies, i.e. actional links, directly from actions. We also extend the existing skeleton graphs to represent higher-order dependencies, i.e. structural links. Combing the two types of links into a…
Graph Convolutional Networks (GCNs), which model skeleton data as graphs, have obtained remarkable performance for skeleton-based action recognition. Particularly, the temporal dynamic of skeleton sequence conveys significant information in the recognition task. For temporal dynamic modeling, GCN-based methods only stack multi-layer 1D local convolutions to extract temporal relations between adjacent time steps. With the repeat of a lot of local convolutions, the key temporal information with non-adjacent temporal distance may be ignored due to the information dilution. Therefore, these method…
We present a module that extends the temporal graph of a graph convolutional network (GCN) for action recognition with a sequence of skeletons. Existing methods attempt to represent a more appropriate spatial graph on an intra-frame, but disregard optimization of the temporal graph on the interframe. Concretely, these methods connect between vertices corresponding only to the same joint on the inter-frame. In this work, we focus on adding connections to neighboring multiple vertices on the inter-frame and extracting additional features based on the extended temporal graph. Our module is a simp…
Skeleton sequences are widely used for action recognition task due to its lightweight and compact characteristics. Recent graph convolutional network (GCN) approaches have achieved great success for skeleton-based action recognition since its grateful modeling ability of non-Euclidean data. GCN is able to utilize the short-range joint dependencies while lack to directly model the distant joints relations that are vital to distinguishing various actions. Thus, many GCN approaches try to employ hierarchical mechanism to aggregate wider-range neighborhood information. We propose a novel self-atte…

One essential problem in skeleton-based action recognition is how to extract discriminative features over all skeleton joints. However, the complexity of the State-Of-The-Art (SOTA) models of this task tends to be exceedingly sophisticated and over-parameterized, where the low efficiency in model training and inference has obstructed the development in the field, especially for large-scale action datasets. In this work, we propose an efficient but strong baseline based on Graph Convolutional Network (GCN), where three main improvements are aggregated, i.e., early fused Multiple Input Branches …

Human action recognition aims at classifying the category of human action from a segment of a video. Recently, people have dived into designing GCN-based models to extract features from skeletons for performing this task, because skeleton representations are much more efficient and robust than other modalities such as RGB frames. However, when employing the skeleton data, some important clues like related items are also discarded. It results in some ambiguous actions that are hard to be distinguished and tend to be misclassified. To alleviate this problem, we propose an auxiliary feature refin…
Graph convolutional networks (GCNs) can effectively capture the features of related nodes and improve the performance of the model. More attention is paid to employing GCN in Skeleton-Based action recognition. But existing methods based on GCNs have two problems. First, the consistency of temporal and spatial features is ignored for extracting features node by node and frame by frame. To obtain spatiotemporal features simultaneously, we design a generic representation of skeleton sequences for action recognition and propose a novel model called Temporal Graph Networks (TGN). Secondly, the adja…

Graph convolutional networks (GCNs) have emerged as dominant methods for skeleton-based action recognition. However, they still suffer from two problems, namely, neighborhood constraints and entangled spatiotemporal feature representations. Most studies have focused on improving the design of graph topology to solve the first problem but they have yet to fully explore the latter. In this work, we design a disentangled spatiotemporal transformer (DSTT) block to overcome the above limitations of GCNs in three steps: (i) feature disentanglement for spatiotemporal decomposition;(ii) global spatiot…

Action recognition based on skeleton data has recently witnessed increasing attention and progress. State-of-the-art approaches adopting Graph Convolutional networks (GCNs) can effectively extract features on human skeletons relying on the pre-defined human topology. Despite associated progress, GCN-based methods have difficulties to generalize across domains, especially with different human topological structures. In this context, we introduce UNIK, a novel skeleton-based action recognition method that is not only effective to learn spatio-temporal features on human skeleton sequences but als…
Graph convolutional networks (GCNs) have been very successful in skeleton-based human action recognition where the sequence of skeletons is modeled as a graph. However, most of the GCN-based methods in this area train a deep feed-forward network with a fixed topology that leads to high computational complexity and restricts their application in low computation scenarios. In this paper, we propose a method to automatically find a compact and problem-specific topology for spatio-temporal graph convolutional networks in a progressive manner. Experimental results on two widely used datasets for sk…
Dynamics of human body skeletons convey significant information for human action recognition. Conventional approaches for modeling skeletons usually rely on hand-crafted parts or traversal rules, thus resulting in limited expressive power and difficulties of generalization. In this work, we propose a novel model of dynamic skeletons called Spatial-Temporal Graph Convolutional Networks (ST-GCN), which moves beyond the limitations of previous methods by automatically learning both the spatial and temporal patterns from data. This formulation not only leads to greater expressive power but also st…
