Abstract

Aspects of the present invention include systems and methods for generating an optical flow-based feature. In embodiments, to extract an optical flow feature, the optical flow at sparse interest points is obtained, and Locality-constrained Linear Coding (LLC) is applied to the sparse interest points to embed each flow into a higher-dimensional code. In embodiments, for an image frame, the multiple codes are combined together using a weighted pooling that is related to the distribution of the optical flows in the image frame. In embodiments, the feature may be used in training models to detect actions, in trained models for action detection, or both.
