Research on Action Recognition Algorithm Based on SlowFast Network

Abstract

As a major branch of video understanding, human action recognition has become a popular research topic in the field of computer vision and has a wide range of applications in many areas. To address the problems of high parameter consumption and weak spatiotemporal modeling capabilities in existing action recognition methods, this study proposes a lightweight dual-branch convolutional network called SlowFast-Light Net. Inspired and influenced by the renowned two-branch SlowFast network proposed by the expert Kaiming He, this study adopts a lightweight two-branch network design, which is an improvement based on the SlowFast network. The network significantly reduces parameter consumption by introducing a lightweight feature extraction network and accelerating the model convergence speed. This study conducts experimental verification on the UCF101 and HMDB51 datasets, achieving an action recognition accuracy of 93.80% and 80.00%, respectively, on the two test sets. The experimental results showed that the model proposed in this study achieved a recognition accuracy comparable to that of the original model with a considerably lower number of parameters.
