Prerequisites

• Python 3.5
• PyTorch 1.2
• TensorboardX

Data preparation

• Something Something-v1: Download the frames from the official website. Copy the directory containing frames and the train-val files to dataset-->something-v1. Run python data_scripts/process_dataset_something.py to create the train/val list files.

• Diving48: Download the videos and the annotations from the official website. Copy the directory containing videos and the annotations to the directory dataset-->Diving48. Run python data_scripts/extract_frames_diving48.py for extracting the frames from the videos. Run python data_scripts/process_dataset_diving.py for creating the train/test list files.

Training

python main.py something-v1 RGB --arch BNInception \
               --num_segments 8 --consensus_type avg \
               --batch-size 16 --iter_size 2 --dropout 0.5 \
               --lr 0.01 --warmup 10 --epochs 60 --eval-freq 5 \
               --gd 20 --run_iter 1 -j 16 --npb --gsm

Testing

python test_models.py something-v1 RGB models/something-v1_RGB_InceptionV3_avg_segment16_checkpoint.pth.tar \
		      --arch InceptionV3 --crop_fusion_type avg \
                      --test_segments 16 --test_crops 1 --num_clips 1 --gsm

To evaluate using 2 clips sampled from each model, change --num_clips 1 to --num_clips 2. For prediction using ensemble of models, perform evaluation with the option --save_scores to save the prediction scores and run python average_scores.py.

Models

The models can be downloaded by running python download_models.py or from google drive. The table shows the results reported in the paper. To reproduce the results, run the script obtained when clicked on the accuracy scores.

No. of frames	Top-1 Accuracy (%)	Something Something-v1 Visualization
8	49.01
12	51.58
16	50.63
24	49.63
8x2	50.43
12x2	51.98
8x2 + 12x2 + 16 + 24	55.16

To reproduce the results on Diving48 dataset, click on 39.03% (16 frames) and 40.27% (16x2 frames).
