Action classification based on manipulated object movement

Abstract:

A computing device, including a processor configured to receive a first video including a plurality of frames. For each frame, the processor may determine that a target region of the frame includes a target object. The processor may determine a surrounding region within which the target region is located. The surrounding region may be smaller than the frame. The processor may identify one or more features located in the surrounding region. From the one or more features, the processor may generate one or more manipulated object identifiers. For each of a plurality of pairs of frames, the processor may determine a respective manipulated object movement between a first manipulated object identifier of the first frame and a second manipulated object identifier of the second frame. The processor may classify at least one action performed in the first video based on the plurality of manipulated object movements.
