Abstract
This paper proposes an improved video action recognition method, primarily consisting of three key components. Firstly, in the data preprocessing stage, we developed multi-temporal scale video frame extraction and multi-spatial scale video cropping techniques to enhance content information and standardize input formats. Secondly, we propose a lightweight Inception-3D networks (LI3D) network structure for spatio-temporal feature extraction and design a soft-association feature aggregation module to improve the recognition accuracy of key actions in videos. Lastly, we employ a bidirectional LSTM network to contextualize the feature sequences extracted by LI3D, enhancing the representation capability for temporal data. To improve the model’s robustness and generalization ability, we introduced spatial and temporal scale data augmentation techniques in the preprocessing stage, effectively extracting video key frames and capturing key regional actions. Furthermore, we conducted an in-depth study on spatio-temporal feature extraction methods for video data, effectively extracting spatial and temporal information through the LI3D network and transfer learning. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves significant performance improvements in video action recognition tasks, providing new insights and approaches for research in related fields.
