A Decoupled Spatio-Temporal Framework for Skeleton-based Action Segmentation

Effectively modeling discriminative spatio-temporal information is essential for segmenting activities in long action sequences. However, we observe that existing methods are limited in weak spatio-temporal modeling capability due to two forms of decoupled modeling: (i) cascaded interaction couples spatial and temporal modeling, which over-smooths motion modeling over the long sequence, and (ii) joint-shared temporal modeling adopts shared weights to model each joint, ignoring the distinct motion patterns of different joints. We propose a Decoupled Spatio-Temporal Framework (DeST) to address the above issues. Firstly, we decouple the cascaded spatio-temporal interaction to avoid stacking multiple spatio-temporal blocks, while achieving sufficient spatio-temporal interaction. Specifically, DeST performs once unified spatial modeling and divides the spatial features into different groups of subfeatures, which then adaptively interact with temporal features from different layers. Since the different sub-features contain distinct spatial semantics, the model could learn the optimal interaction pattern at each layer. Meanwhile, inspired by the fact that different joints move at different speeds, we propose joint-decoupled temporal modeling, which employs independent trainable weights to capture distinctive temporal features of each joint. On four large-scale benchmarks of different scenes, DeST significantly outperforms current state-of-the-art methods with less computational complexity.
