我们努力努力探索的任务很少，名为Insbestantial对象检测（IOD），该任务旨在以以下特征定位对象：（1）具有不明显的边界的无定形形状； （2）与周围环境相似； （3）颜色不存在。因此，在单个静态框架中区分不理性对象是更具挑战性的，而空间和时间信息的协作表示至关重要。因此，我们构建了一个由600个视频（141,017帧）组成的iod-video数据集，其中涵盖了各种距离，尺寸，可见性和不同光谱范围捕获的场景。此外，我们为IOD开发了一个时空聚合框架，其中部署了不同的骨架，并精心设计了时空聚合损失（Staloss），以利用沿时轴的一致性来利用一致性。在IOD-VIDEO数据集上进行的实验表明，时空聚集可以显着改善IOD的性能。我们希望我们的工作能够吸引进一步的研究，以完成这项有价值但充满挑战的任务。该代码将在：\ url {https://github.com/calayzhou/iod-video}上可用。

由于其前所未有的优势，在规模，移动，部署和隐蔽观察能力方面，空中平台和成像传感器的快速出现是实现新的空中监测形式。本文从计算机视觉和模式识别的角度来看，全面概述了以人为本的空中监控任务。它旨在为读者提供使用无人机，无人机和其他空中平台的空中监测任务当前状态的深入系统审查和技术分析。感兴趣的主要对象是人类，其中要检测单个或多个受试者，识别，跟踪，重新识别并进行其行为。更具体地，对于这四项任务中的每一个，我们首先讨论与基于地面的设置相比在空中环境中执行这些任务的独特挑战。然后，我们审查和分析公共可用于每项任务的航空数据集，并深入了解航空文学中的方法，并调查他们目前如何应对鸟瞰挑战。我们在讨论缺失差距和开放研究问题的讨论中得出结论，告知未来的研究途径。

随着深度卷积神经网络的兴起，对象检测在过去几年中取得了突出的进步。但是，这种繁荣无法掩盖小物体检测（SOD）的不令人满意的情况，这是计算机视觉中臭名昭著的挑战性任务之一，这是由于视觉外观不佳和由小目标的内在结构引起的嘈杂表示。此外，用于基准小对象检测方法基准测试的大规模数据集仍然是瓶颈。在本文中，我们首先对小物体检测进行了详尽的审查。然后，为了催化SOD的发展，我们分别构建了两个大规模的小物体检测数据集（SODA），SODA-D和SODA-A，分别集中在驾驶和空中场景上。 SODA-D包括24704个高质量的交通图像和277596个9个类别的实例。对于苏打水，我们收集2510个高分辨率航空图像，并在9个类别上注释800203实例。众所周知，拟议的数据集是有史以来首次尝试使用针对多类SOD量身定制的大量注释实例进行大规模基准测试。最后，我们评估主流方法在苏打水上的性能。我们预计发布的基准可以促进SOD的发展，并产生该领域的更多突破。数据集和代码将很快在：\ url {https://shaunyuan22.github.io/soda}上。

基于文本的视频细分旨在通过用文本查询指定演员及其表演动作来细分视频序列中的演员。由于\ emph {emph {语义不对称}的问题，以前的方法无法根据演员及其动作以细粒度的方式将视频内容与文本查询对齐。 \ emph {语义不对称}意味着在多模式融合过程中包含不同量的语义信息。为了减轻这个问题，我们提出了一个新颖的演员和动作模块化网络，该网络将演员及其动作分别定位在两个单独的模块中。具体来说，我们首先从视频和文本查询中学习与参与者相关的内容，然后以对称方式匹配它们以定位目标管。目标管包含所需的参与者和动作，然后将其送入完全卷积的网络，以预测演员的分割掩模。我们的方法还建立了对象的关联，使其与所提出的时间建议聚合机制交叉多个框架。这使我们的方法能够有效地细分视频并保持预测的时间一致性。整个模型允许联合学习参与者的匹配和细分，并在A2D句子和J-HMDB句子数据集上实现单帧细分和完整视频细分的最新性能。

我们提出了块茎：一种简单的时空视频动作检测解决方案。与依赖于离线演员检测器或手工设计的演员位置假设的现有方法不同，我们建议通过同时执行动作定位和识别从单个表示来直接检测视频中的动作微管。块茎学习一组管芯查询，并利用微调模块来模拟视频剪辑的动态时空性质，其有效地加强了与在时空空间中的演员位置假设相比的模型容量。对于包含过渡状态或场景变更的视频，我们提出了一种上下文意识的分类头来利用短期和长期上下文来加强行动分类，以及用于检测精确的时间动作程度的动作开关回归头。块茎直接产生具有可变长度的动作管，甚至对长视频剪辑保持良好的结果。块茎在常用的动作检测数据集AVA，UCF101-24和JHMDB51-21上优于先前的最先进。

当前的时空动作管检测方法通常将一个给定键框的边界框提案扩展到附近帧的3D颞轴和池特征。但是，如果演员的位置或形状通过大型的2D运动和可变性，由于大型摄像机运动，大型演员形状变形，快速演员的动作等，这种合并就无法积累有意义的时空特征。在这项工作中，我们旨在研究在大动作下的动作检测中观察到Cuboid感知特征聚集的性能。此外，我们建议通过跟踪参与者并沿各个轨道进行时间特征聚集来增强演员特征表示。我们在各种固定时间尺度的动作管/轨道框之间使用相交的行动者（IOU）定义了演员运动。随着时间的推移，具有较大运动的动作将导致较低的IOU，并且较慢的动作将保持更高的IOU。我们发现，轨道感知功能聚集始终取得了巨大的改善，尤其是对于与Cuboid感知的基线相比，在大型运动下进行的动作。结果，我们还报告了大规模多运动数据集的最先进。

有效地对视频中的空间信息进行建模对于动作识别至关重要。为了实现这一目标，最先进的方法通常采用卷积操作员和密集的相互作用模块，例如非本地块。但是，这些方法无法准确地符合视频中的各种事件。一方面，采用的卷积是有固定尺度的，因此在各种尺度的事件中挣扎。另一方面，密集的相互作用建模范式仅在动作 - 欧元零件时实现次优性能，给最终预测带来了其他噪音。在本文中，我们提出了一个统一的动作识别框架，以通过引入以下设计来研究视频内容的动态性质。首先，在提取本地提示时，我们会生成动态尺度的时空内核，以适应各种事件。其次，为了将这些线索准确地汇总为全局视频表示形式，我们建议仅通过变压器在一些选定的前景对象之间进行交互，从而产生稀疏的范式。我们将提出的框架称为事件自适应网络（EAN），因为这两个关键设计都适应输入视频内容。为了利用本地细分市场内的短期运动，我们提出了一种新颖有效的潜在运动代码（LMC）模块，进一步改善了框架的性能。在几个大规模视频数据集上进行了广泛的实验，例如，某种东西，动力学和潜水48，验证了我们的模型是否在低拖鞋上实现了最先进或竞争性的表演。代码可在：https：//github.com/tianyuan168326/ean-pytorch中找到。

This paper introduces a video dataset of spatiotemporally localized Atomic Visual Actions (AVA). The AVA dataset densely annotates 80 atomic visual actions in 430 15-minute video clips, where actions are localized in space and time, resulting in 1.58M action labels with multiple labels per person occurring frequently. The key characteristics of our dataset are: (1) the definition of atomic visual actions, rather than composite actions; (2) precise spatio-temporal annotations with possibly multiple annotations for each person; (3) exhaustive annotation of these atomic actions over 15-minute video clips; (4) people temporally linked across consecutive segments; and (5) using movies to gather a varied set of action representations. This departs from existing datasets for spatio-temporal action recognition, which typically provide sparse annotations for composite actions in short video clips.AVA, with its realistic scene and action complexity, exposes the intrinsic difficulty of action recognition. To benchmark this, we present a novel approach for action localization that builds upon the current state-of-the-art methods, and demonstrates better performance on JHMDB and UCF101-24 categories. While setting a new state of the art on existing datasets, the overall results on AVA are low at 15.6% mAP, underscoring the need for developing new approaches for video understanding.

设计可以成功部署在日常生活环境中的活动检测系统需要构成现实情况典型挑战的数据集。在本文中，我们介绍了一个新的未修剪日常生存数据集，该数据集具有几个现实世界中的挑战：Toyota Smarthome Untrimmed（TSU）。 TSU包含以自发方式进行的各种活动。数据集包含密集的注释，包括基本的，复合活动和涉及与对象相互作用的活动。我们提供了对数据集所需的现实世界挑战的分析，突出了检测算法的开放问题。我们表明，当前的最新方法无法在TSU数据集上实现令人满意的性能。因此，我们提出了一种新的基线方法，以应对数据集提供的新挑战。此方法利用一种模态（即视线流）生成注意力权重，以指导另一种模态（即RGB）以更好地检测活动边界。这对于检测以高时间差异为特征的活动特别有益。我们表明，我们建议在TSU和另一个受欢迎的挑战数据集Charades上优于最先进方法的方法。

Human activity recognition (HAR) using drone-mounted cameras has attracted considerable interest from the computer vision research community in recent years. A robust and efficient HAR system has a pivotal role in fields like video surveillance, crowd behavior analysis, sports analysis, and human-computer interaction. What makes it challenging are the complex poses, understanding different viewpoints, and the environmental scenarios where the action is taking place. To address such complexities, in this paper, we propose a novel Sparse Weighted Temporal Attention (SWTA) module to utilize sparsely sampled video frames for obtaining global weighted temporal attention. The proposed SWTA is comprised of two parts. First, temporal segment network that sparsely samples a given set of frames. Second, weighted temporal attention, which incorporates a fusion of attention maps derived from optical flow, with raw RGB images. This is followed by a basenet network, which comprises a convolutional neural network (CNN) module along with fully connected layers that provide us with activity recognition. The SWTA network can be used as a plug-in module to the existing deep CNN architectures, for optimizing them to learn temporal information by eliminating the need for a separate temporal stream. It has been evaluated on three publicly available benchmark datasets, namely Okutama, MOD20, and Drone-Action. The proposed model has received an accuracy of 72.76%, 92.56%, and 78.86% on the respective datasets thereby surpassing the previous state-of-the-art performances by a margin of 25.26%, 18.56%, and 2.94%, respectively.

卫星摄像机可以为大型区域提供连续观察，这对于许多遥感应用很重要。然而，由于对象的外观信息不足和缺乏高质量数据集，在卫星视频中实现移动对象检测和跟踪仍然具有挑战性。在本文中，我们首先构建一个具有丰富注释的大型卫星视频数据集，用于移动对象检测和跟踪的任务。该数据集由Jilin-1卫星星座收集，并由47个高质量视频组成，对象检测有1,646,038兴趣的情况和用于对象跟踪的3,711个轨迹。然后，我们引入运动建模基线，以提高检测速率并基于累积多帧差异和鲁棒矩阵完成来减少误报。最后，我们建立了第一个用于在卫星视频中移动对象检测和跟踪的公共基准，并广泛地评估在我们数据集上几种代表方法的性能。还提供了综合实验分析和富有魅力的结论。数据集可在https://github.com/qingyonghu/viso提供。

视频中的实时和在线行动本地化是一个关键但极具挑战性的问题。准确的行动定位需要利用时间和空间信息。最近的尝试通过使用计算密集的3D CNN架构或高度冗余的双流架构来实现这一目标，使它们既不适用于实时在线应用程序。为了在高度挑战的实时约束下完成活动本地化，我们提出利用基于快速高效的关键点的边界框预测到空间本地化动作。然后，我们介绍一种管链接算法，其在闭塞存在下在时间上保持动作管的连续性。此外，我们通过将时间和空间信息与级联输入组合到单个网络的级联输入来消除对双流架构的需要，允许网络从两种类型的信息中学习。使用结构相似索引图有效地提取了时间信息，而不是计算密集的光学流量。尽管我们的方法简单，我们的轻质端到端架构在挑战的UCF101-24数据集上实现了最先进的框架地图，达到了74.7％，展示了以前最好的在线方法的性能增益为6.4％ 。与在线和离线方法两者相比，我们还实现了最先进的视频地图结果。此外，我们的模型实现了41.8 FPS的帧速率，这是对当代实时方法的10.7％。

Deep convolutional networks have achieved great success for visual recognition in still images. However, for action recognition in videos, the advantage over traditional methods is not so evident. This paper aims to discover the principles to design effective ConvNet architectures for action recognition in videos and learn these models given limited training samples. Our first contribution is temporal segment network (TSN), a novel framework for video-based action recognition. which is based on the idea of long-range temporal structure modeling. It combines a sparse temporal sampling strategy and video-level supervision to enable efficient and effective learning using the whole action video. The other contribution is our study on a series of good practices in learning ConvNets on video data with the help of temporal segment network. Our approach obtains the state-the-of-art performance on the datasets of HMDB51 (69.4%) and UCF101 (94.2%). We also visualize the learned ConvNet models, which qualitatively demonstrates the effectiveness of temporal segment network and the proposed good practices. 1

Due to object detection's close relationship with video analysis and image understanding, it has attracted much research attention in recent years. Traditional object detection methods are built on handcrafted features and shallow trainable architectures. Their performance easily stagnates by constructing complex ensembles which combine multiple low-level image features with high-level context from object detectors and scene classifiers. With the rapid development in deep learning, more powerful tools, which are able to learn semantic, high-level, deeper features, are introduced to address the problems existing in traditional architectures. These models behave differently in network architecture, training strategy and optimization function, etc. In this paper, we provide a review on deep learning based object detection frameworks. Our review begins with a brief introduction on the history of deep learning and its representative tool, namely Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). Then we focus on typical generic object detection architectures along with some modifications and useful tricks to improve detection performance further. As distinct specific detection tasks exhibit different characteristics, we also briefly survey several specific tasks, including salient object detection, face detection and pedestrian detection. Experimental analyses are also provided to compare various methods and draw some meaningful conclusions. Finally, several promising directions and tasks are provided to serve as guidelines for future work in both object detection and relevant neural network based learning systems.

The 1$^{\text{st}}$ Workshop on Maritime Computer Vision (MaCVi) 2023 focused on maritime computer vision for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) and Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV), and organized several subchallenges in this domain: (i) UAV-based Maritime Object Detection, (ii) UAV-based Maritime Object Tracking, (iii) USV-based Maritime Obstacle Segmentation and (iv) USV-based Maritime Obstacle Detection. The subchallenges were based on the SeaDronesSee and MODS benchmarks. This report summarizes the main findings of the individual subchallenges and introduces a new benchmark, called SeaDronesSee Object Detection v2, which extends the previous benchmark by including more classes and footage. We provide statistical and qualitative analyses, and assess trends in the best-performing methodologies of over 130 submissions. The methods are summarized in the appendix. The datasets, evaluation code and the leaderboard are publicly available at https://seadronessee.cs.uni-tuebingen.de/macvi.

Temporal action detection (TAD) is extensively studied in the video understanding community by generally following the object detection pipeline in images. However, complex designs are not uncommon in TAD, such as two-stream feature extraction, multi-stage training, complex temporal modeling, and global context fusion. In this paper, we do not aim to introduce any novel technique for TAD. Instead, we study a simple, straightforward, yet must-known baseline given the current status of complex design and low detection efficiency in TAD. In our simple baseline (termed BasicTAD), we decompose the TAD pipeline into several essential components: data sampling, backbone design, neck construction, and detection head. We extensively investigate the existing techniques in each component for this baseline, and more importantly, perform end-to-end training over the entire pipeline thanks to the simplicity of design. As a result, this simple BasicTAD yields an astounding and real-time RGB-Only baseline very close to the state-of-the-art methods with two-stream inputs. In addition, we further improve the BasicTAD by preserving more temporal and spatial information in network representation (termed as PlusTAD). Empirical results demonstrate that our PlusTAD is very efficient and significantly outperforms the previous methods on the datasets of THUMOS14 and FineAction. Meanwhile, we also perform in-depth visualization and error analysis on our proposed method and try to provide more insights on the TAD problem. Our approach can serve as a strong baseline for future TAD research. The code and model will be released at https://github.com/MCG-NJU/BasicTAD.

Temporal modeling is key for action recognition in videos. It normally considers both short-range motions and long-range aggregations. In this paper, we propose a Temporal Excitation and Aggregation (TEA) block, including a motion excitation (ME) module and a multiple temporal aggregation (MTA) module, specifically designed to capture both short-and long-range temporal evolution. In particular, for short-range motion modeling, the ME module calculates the feature-level temporal differences from spatiotemporal features. It then utilizes the differences to excite the motion-sensitive channels of the features. The long-range temporal aggregations in previous works are typically achieved by stacking a large number of local temporal convolutions. Each convolution processes a local temporal window at a time. In contrast, the MTA module proposes to deform the local convolution to a group of subconvolutions, forming a hierarchical residual architecture. Without introducing additional parameters, the features will be processed with a series of sub-convolutions, and each frame could complete multiple temporal aggregations with neighborhoods. The final equivalent receptive field of temporal dimension is accordingly enlarged, which is capable of modeling the long-range temporal relationship over distant frames. The two components of the TEA block are complementary in temporal modeling. Finally, our approach achieves impressive results at low FLOPs on several action recognition benchmarks, such as Kinetics, Something-Something, HMDB51, and UCF101, which confirms its effectiveness and efficiency.
