TAM: Temporal Adaptive Module for Video Recognition

Liu, Zhaoyang, Wang, Limin, Wu, Wayne et al.

Understand

Video data is with complex temporal dynamics due to various factors such as camera motion, speed variation, and different activities.

  • To effectively capture this diverse motion pattern, this paper presents a new temporal adaptive module ({\bf TAM}) to generate video-specific temporal kernels based on its own feature map.
  • TAM proposes a unique two-level adaptive modeling scheme by decoupling the dynamic kernel into a location sensitive importance map and a location invariant aggregation weight.
  • The importance map is learned in a local temporal window to capture short-term information, while the aggregation weight is generated from a global view with a focus on long-term structure.
