The main reason comes from that, there are some ambiguous states similar to the real actions which may be treated as target actions even by a well-trained network. In this paper, we define these ambiguous samples as \"transitional states\", and propose a Transition-Aware Context Network (TACNet) to distinguish transitional states. The proposed TACNet includes two main components, i.e., temporal context detector and transition-aware classifier. The temporal context detector can extract long-term context information with constant time complexity by constructing a recurrent network. The transition-aware classifier can further distinguish transitional states by classifying action and transitional states simultaneously. Therefore, the proposed TACNet can substantially improve the performance of spatio-temporal action detection. We extensively evaluate the proposed TACNet on UCF101-24 and J-HMDB datasets. The experimental results demonstrate that TACNet obtains competitive performance on JHMDB and significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art methods on the untrimmed UCF101-24 in terms of both frame-mAP and video-mAP.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1905.13417v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/1905.13417v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"action-detection","task_name":"Action Detection"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[{"leaderboard":"/sota/action-detection-on-j-hmdb","task":"Action Detection","dataset":"J-HMDB","model":"TACNet","rank_in_archive_order":8,"of":18,"metrics":{"Frame-mAP 0.5":"65.5","Video-mAP 0.2":"74.1","Video-mAP 0.5":"73.4"},"uses_additional_data":false},{"leaderboard":"/sota/action-detection-on-ucf101-24","task":"Action Detection","dataset":"UCF101-24","model":"TACNet","rank_in_archive_order":11,"of":19,"metrics":{"Frame-mAP 0.5":"72.1","Video-mAP 0.2":"77.5","Video-mAP 0.5":"52.9"},"uses_additional_data":false}],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1905.13417","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
