The HMDB51 dataset =-=[18]-=- is collected from a variety of sources ranging from digitized movies to YouTube videos. In total, there are 51 action categories and 6,766 video sequences. We follow the original protocol using three...

Our experiments on two challenging datasets (UCF-101 [20] and HMDB-51 =-=[15]-=-) show that the two video recognition streams are complementary, and our architecture significantly outperforms that of [13] and matches the state of the art [18, 22, 23], in spite of being trained on...

The recent HMDB51 dataset =-=[31]-=- contains 51 distinct action categories, each represented by at least 101 video clips. The total 6, 766 video clips were extracted from a wide range of varied sources. It is said to be one of the most...

Despite these progresses, the existing descriptors suffer from an uncompleted handling of motion in the video sequence. Motion is arguably the most reliable source of information for action recognit...

...obal Reference Points Uncovering the global motion pattern in complex unconstrained videos is not an easy process. Typical solutions like foreground-background separation [15] and video stabilization =-=[28]-=- are very expensive to compute. We therefore pursue a simple solution by clustering the motion patterns of trajectories on the scene. The dominant pattern is treated as a reference point to characteri...

Currently, most successful methods are based on some form of local space-time features; see =-=[16, 43]-=- for recent evaluation studies. Most features are carefully engineered, while some recent work explores learning the low-level features from data [20, 45]. Once local features are extracted, often met...
