Abstract
Detect action in the target video based on a query video is an important research topic. We propose a fast action detection method. First, Features extracted at the interest points from the query video. Then, the clips are formed by sliding a window on the video. For each clip, the points of all the frames are compared with that in the first frame. The matched pairs are counted in the displacement cells to form a displacement histogram. This histogram sequence represents the query video. Then, we divide the target video into cubes. These cubes are similarly represented by histogram sequences. Matrix Cosine Similarity (MCS) is used to compute the similarities between the query video and cubes. Last, we localize the action using the locations of the matched points. Our key contribution is the proposed fast action representation method. Experiments on challenging datasets confirm the effectiveness and efficiency of our method.
