Main Abstract:
In this paper, we propose an end-to-end capsule network for pixel level localization of actors and actions present in a video. The localization is performed based on a natural language query through which an actor and action are specified. We propose to encode both the video as well as textual input in the form of capsules, which provide more effective representation in comparison with standard convolution based features. We introduce a novel capsule based attention mechanism for fusion of video and text capsules for text selected video segmentation. The attention mechanism is performed via joint EM routing over video and text capsules for text selected actor and action localization. The existing works on actor-action localization are mainly focused on localization in a single frame instead of the full video. Different from existing works, we propose to perform the localization on all frames of the video. To validate the potential of the proposed network for actor and action localization on all the frames of a video, we extend an existing actor-action dataset (A2D) with annotations for all the frames. The experimental evaluation demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed capsule network for text selective actor and action localization in videos, and it also improves upon the performance of the existing state-of-the art works on single frame-based localization.

[1]: This paper strives for pixel-level segmentation of actors and their actions in video content. Different from existing works, which all learn to segment from a fixed vocabulary of actor and action pairs, we infer the segmentation from a natural language input sentence. This allows to distinguish between fine-grained actors in the same super-category, identify actor and action instances, and segment pairs that are outside of the actor and action vocabulary. We propose a fully-convolutional model for pixel-level actor and action segmentation using an encoder-decoder architecture optimized for video. To show the potential of actor and action video segmentation from a sentence, we extend two popular actor and action datasets with more than 7,500 natural language descriptions. Experiments demonstrate the quality of the sentence-guided segmentations, the generalization ability of our model, and its advantage for traditional actor and action segmentation compared to the state-of-the-art.
[1] recently extended the A2D dataset with human generated sentences, describing the actors and actions in the video, and proposed the task of actor and action segmentation from a sentence. Their method uses a convolutional network for both visual as well as textual inputs and predicts localization on one frame of the video. We propose a different approach, where we make use of capsules for both visual as well as text encoding, and perform localization on the full video instead of just one frame, in order to fully utilize the spatiotemporal information captured by the video.
