Topic：Graph-based Action Assessment

Abstract：We present a new model to assess the performance of actions from videos by graph-based joint relation modelling. Action assessment is an emerging research direction in the computer vision community, and it aims to evaluate the standard degree of the action execution with fine-grained descriptions of the visual cues. Previous research works of action assessment mainly focused on the whole scene, including the performer's body and background, yet they ignored the detailed joint interactions. This is insufficient for fine-grained and accurate action assessment since the motion quality of each joint is dependent on its neighboring joints. To address this problem, we propose to learn the detailed joint motion based on the joint relations. We build trainable Joint Relation Graphs, and analyze joint motion on them. We develop two novel modules, namely the Joint Commonality Module and the Joint Difference Module, for joint motion learning. The Joint Commonality Module models the local motion of body parts, and the Joint Difference Module models the motion differences of joints within body parts. The proposed method is further developed to address long-term action assessment. In this talk, we will demonstrate how these developments are applied to assess the operations of chemistry experiments in high school.
