Advancing Video Action Segmentation with Temporal Context

🎯Temporal action segmentation translates an untrimmed video into action segments by classifying action labels for each frame.

🌐Existing models often suffer from out-of-context errors and do not effectively consider the visual features and activity context.

📜Our method introduces an activity grammar induction algorithm and an effective parser to improve action sequence generation and refinement.

⏲️We employ a dynamic program optimization approach to find optimal action probabilities that fit the activity context.

📊Experimental results show that our approach outperforms existing models, effectively removing out-of-context errors and improving overall segmentation performance.
