Auxiliary Task Graph Convolution Network: A Skeleton-Based Action Recognition for Practical Use
Graph convolution networks (GCNs) have been extensively researched for action recognition by estimating human skeletons from video clips. However, their image sampling methods are not practical because they require video-length information for sampling images. In this study, we propose an Auxiliary...

| Summary: | Graph convolution networks (GCNs) have been extensively researched for action recognition by estimating human skeletons from video clips. However, their image sampling methods are not practical because they require video-length information for sampling images. In this study, we propose an Auxiliary Task Graph Convolution Network (AT-GCN) with low and high-frame pathways while supporting a new sampling method. AT-GCN learns actions at a defined frame rate in the defined range with three losses: fuse, slow, and fast losses. AT-GCN handles the slow and fast losses in two auxiliary tasks, while the mainstream handles the fuse loss. AT-GCN outperforms the original State-of-the-Art model on the NTU RGB+D, NTU RGB+D 120, and NW-UCLA datasets while maintaining the same inference time. AT-GCN shows the best performance on the NTU RGB+D dataset at 90.3% from subjects, 95.2 from view benchmarks, on the NTU RGB+D 120 dataset at 86.5% from subjects, 87.6% from set benchmarks, and at 93.5% on the NW-UCLA dataset as top-1 accuracy. |
