Lately, skeleton-based action recognition has drawn remarkable attention to graph convolutional networks (GCNs). Recent methods have focused on graph learning because graph topology is the key to GCNs. We propose to align graph learning on the channel level by introducing graph convolution with enriched topology based on careful channel-wise correlations, namely the attentive channel-wise correlation graph convolution (ACC-GC). For the model to learn channel-wise enriched topologies, ACC-GC learns a shared graph topology spanning many channels and enhances it with careful channel-wise correlations. Encoding the intra-correlation between various nodes within each channel, boosting informative channel-wise correlations, and suppressing trivial ones generates attentive channel-wise correlations. Our enhanced ACC-GCN is created by substituting our ACC-GC for the GC in a standard GCN. Extensive experiments on NTURGB60 and Northwestern-UCLA datasets demonstrate that our proposed ACC-GCN performs comparably to state-of-the-art methods while reducing the computational cost.
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.
