Enhanced fine-grained relearning for skeleton-based action recognition
摘要
Skeleton-based human action recognition (HAR) identifies actions by capturing joint motions and posture changes, and it has broad applications. Despite promising results, current methods still face challenges. Over-smoothing and high-frequency loss in the CNN and GCN methods limit the ability to differentiate similar actions due to a lack of fine-grained features, leading to hard samples. To address the above issues, we propose DPConv3D, a dual-pathway relearning framework based on 3D CNNs. The benchmark pathway learns general action representations and establishes a discriminator for hard samples using latent knowledge. In contrast, the relearning pathway incorporates multi-loss and joint spatiotemporal attention (JSTA) to enhance fine-grained feature learning. DPConv3D combines general and fine-grained features to enhance HAR performance and further improves it by fusing joint and limb streams. Notably, fine-tuning the relearning pathway alone enables the baseline to enhance fine-grained HAR. We evaluate DPConv3D on four public datasets: FineGYM, HMDB51, NTU RGB+D, and NTU RGB+D 120, demonstrating its effectiveness in enhancing fine-grained HAR while achieving state-of-the-art results on the first three benchmarks.
