## Abstract
<!-- [ABSTRACT] -->
Temporal action proposal generation is an challenging and promising task which aims to locate temporal regions in real-world videos where action or event may occur. Current bottom-up proposal generation methods can generate proposals with precise boundary, but cannot efficiently generate adequately reliable confidence scores for retrieving proposals. To address these difficulties, we introduce the Boundary-Matching (BM) mechanism to evaluate confidence scores of densely distributed proposals, which denote a proposal as a matching pair of starting and ending boundaries and combine all densely distributed BM pairs into the BM confidence map. Based on BM mechanism, we propose an effective, efficient and end-to-end proposal generation method, named Boundary-Matching Network (BMN), which generates proposals with precise temporal boundaries as well as reliable confidence scores simultaneously. The two-branches of BMN are jointly trained in an unified framework. We conduct experiments on two challenging datasets: THUMOS-14 and ActivityNet-1.3, where BMN shows significant performance improvement with remarkable efficiency and generalizability. Further, combining with existing action classifier, BMN can achieve state-of-the-art temporal action detection performance.

[Bsn: Boundary sensitive network for temporal action proposal generation](https://openaccess.thecvf.com/content_ECCV_2018/html/Tianwei_Lin_BSN_Boundary_Sensitive_ECCV_2018_paper.html)
<!-- [ALGORITHM] -->
## Abstract
<!-- [ABSTRACT] -->
Temporal action proposal generation is an important yet challenging problem, since temporal proposals with rich action content are indispensable for analysing real-world videos with long duration and high proportion irrelevant content. This problem requires methods not only generating proposals with precise temporal boundaries, but also retrieving proposals to cover truth action instances with high recall and high overlap using relatively fewer proposals. To address these difficulties, we introduce an effective proposal generation method, named Boundary-Sensitive Network (BSN), which adopts "local to global" fashion. Locally, BSN first locates temporal boundaries with high probabilities, then directly combines these boundaries as proposals. Globally, with Boundary-Sensitive Proposal feature, BSN retrieves proposals by evaluating the confidence of whether a proposal contains an action within its region. We conduct experiments on two challenging datasets: ActivityNet-1.3 and THUMOS14, where BSN outperforms other state-of-the-art temporal action proposal generation methods with high recall and high temporal precision. Finally, further experiments demonstrate that by combining existing action classifiers, our method significantly improves the state-of-the-art temporal action detection performance.

[Temporal Action Detection With Structured Segment Networks](https://openaccess.thecvf.com/content_iccv_2017/html/Zhao_Temporal_Action_Detection_ICCV_2017_paper.html)
<!-- [ALGORITHM] -->
## Abstract
<!-- [ABSTRACT] -->
Detecting actions in untrimmed videos is an important yet challenging task. In this paper, we present the structured segment network (SSN), a novel framework which models the temporal structure of each action instance via a structured temporal pyramid. On top of the pyramid, we further introduce a decomposed discriminative model comprising two classifiers, respectively for classifying actions and determining completeness. This allows the framework to effectively distinguish positive proposals from background or incomplete ones, thus leading to both accurate recognition and localization. These components are integrated into a unified network that can be efficiently trained in an end-to-end fashion. Additionally, a simple yet effective temporal action proposal scheme, dubbed temporal actionness grouping (TAG) is devised to generate high quality action proposals. On two challenging benchmarks, THUMOS14 and ActivityNet, our method remarkably outperforms previous state-of-the-art methods, demonstrating superior accuracy and strong adaptivity in handling actions with various temporal structures.

2. Since SSN utilizes different structured temporal pyramid pooling methods at training and testing, please refer to [ssn_r50_450e_thumos14_rgb_train](/configs/localization/ssn/ssn_r50_450e_thumos14_rgb_train.py) at training and [ssn_r50_450e_thumos14_rgb_test](/configs/localization/ssn/ssn_r50_450e_thumos14_rgb_test.py) at testing.
3. We evaluate the action detection performance of SSN, using action proposals of TAG. For more details on data preparation, you can refer to thumos14 TAG proposals in [Data Preparation](/docs/data_preparation.md).
4. The reference SSN in is evaluated with `ResNet50` backbone in MMAction, which is the same backbone with ours. Note that the original setting of MMAction SSN uses the `BNInception` backbone.

[Learning Spatiotemporal Features with 3D Convolutional Networks](https://openaccess.thecvf.com/content_iccv_2015/html/Tran_Learning_Spatiotemporal_Features_ICCV_2015_paper.html)
<!-- [ALGORITHM] -->
## Abstract
<!-- [ABSTRACT] -->
We propose a simple, yet effective approach for spatiotemporal feature learning using deep 3-dimensional convolutional networks (3D ConvNets) trained on a large scale supervised video dataset. Our findings are three-fold: 1) 3D ConvNets are more suitable for spatiotemporal feature learning compared to 2D ConvNets; 2) A homogeneous architecture with small 3x3x3 convolution kernels in all layers is among the best performing architectures for 3D ConvNets; and 3) Our learned features, namely C3D (Convolutional 3D), with a simple linear classifier outperform state-of-the-art methods on 4 different benchmarks and are comparable with current best methods on the other 2 benchmarks. In addition, the features are compact: achieving 52.8% accuracy on UCF101 dataset with only 10 dimensions and also very efficient to compute due to the fast inference of ConvNets. Finally, they are conceptually very simple and easy to train and use.
1. The author of C3D normalized UCF-101 with volume mean and used SVM to classify videos, while we normalized the dataset with RGB mean value and used a linear classifier.
2. The **gpus** indicates the number of gpu (32G V100) we used to get the checkpoint. It is noteworthy that the configs we provide are used for 8 gpus as default.
According to the [Linear Scaling Rule](https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.02677), you may set the learning rate proportional to the batch size if you use different GPUs or videos per GPU,
e.g., lr=0.01 for 4 GPUs x 2 video/gpu and lr=0.08 for 16 GPUs x 4 video/gpu.
3. The **inference_time** is got by this [benchmark script](/tools/analysis/benchmark.py), where we use the sampling frames strategy of the test setting and only care about the model inference time,
not including the IO time and pre-processing time. For each setting, we use 1 gpu and set batch size (videos per gpu) to 1 to calculate the inference time.
