Analyzing the interactions between humans and objects from a video includes identification of the relationships between humans and the objects present in the video. It can be thought of as a specialized version of Visual Relationship Detection, wherein one of the objects must be a human. While traditional methods formulate the problem as inference on a sequence of video segments, we present a hierarchical approach, LIGHTEN, to learn visual features to effectively capture spatio-temporal cues at multiple granularities in a video. Unlike current approaches, LIGHTEN avoids using ground truth data like depth maps or 3D human pose, thus increasing generalization across non-RGBD datasets as well. Furthermore, we achieve the same using only the visual features, instead of the
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
