Hidden Two-Stream Collaborative Learning Network for Action Recognition

The two-stream convolutional neural network exhibits excellent performance in the video action recognition.The crux of the matter is to use the frames already clipped by the videos and the optical flow images pre-extracted by the frames,to train a model each,and to finally integrate the outputs of the two models.Nevertheless,the reliance on the pre-extraction of the optical flow impedes the efficiency of action recognition,and the temporal and the spatial streams are just simply fused at the ends,with one stream failing and the other stream succeeding.We propose a novel hidden two-stream collaborative(HTSC)learning network that masks the steps of extracting the optical flow in the network and greatly speeds up the action recognition.Based on the two-stream method,the two-stream collaborative learning model captures the interaction of the temporal and spatial features to greatly enhance the accuracy of recognition.Our proposed method is highly capable of achieving the balance of efficiency and precision on large-scale video action recognition datasets.

Improved VGG Model for Road Traffic Sign Recognition

Road traffic sign recognition is an important task in intelligent transportation system.Convolutional neural networks(CNNs)have achieved a breakthrough in computer vision tasks and made great success in traffic sign classification.In this paper,it presents a road traffic sign recognition algorithm based on a convolutional neural network.In natural scenes,traffic signs are disturbed by factors such as illumination,occlusion,missing and deformation,and the accuracy of recognition decreases,this paper proposes a model called Improved VGG(IVGG)inspired by VGG model.The IVGG model includes 9 layers,compared with the original VGG model,it is added max-pooling operation and dropout operation after multiple convolutional layers,to catch the main features and save the training time.The paper proposes the method which adds dropout and Batch Normalization(BN)operations after each fully-connected layer,to further accelerate the model convergence,and then it can get better classification effect.It uses the German Traffic Sign Recognition Benchmark(GTSRB)dataset in the experiment.The IVGG model enhances the recognition rate of traffic signs and robustness by using the data augmentation and transfer learning,and the spent time is also reduced greatly.
