This repository contains the code and trained models of:

Yunpeng Chen, Yannis Kalantidis, Jianshu Li, Shuicheng Yan, Jiashi Feng. "Multi-Fiber Networks for Video Recognition" (PDF).

We use MXNet @92053bd for image classification and PyTorch 0.4.0a0@a83c240 for video classification.

The inputs are substrated by mean RGB = [ 124, 117, 104 ], and then multiplied by 0.0167.

Train motion from scratch:

python train_kinetics.py

Fine-tune with pre-trained model:

python train_ucf101.py

or

python train_hmdb51.py

Evaluate the trained model:

cd test
# the default setting is to test trained model on ucf-101 (split1)
python evaluate_video.py

Single Model, Single Crop Validation Accuracy:

* accuracy averaged on slip1, slip2, and slip3.

• Our `dataiter' supports reading from raw videos and can tolerate corrupted videos.

• Decoding frames from compressed videos consumes quite a lot CPU resources which is the bottleneck for the speed. You can try to convert the downloaded videos to other format or reduce the quality of the video. For example:

# convet to sort_edge_length = 360
ffmpeg -y -i ${SRC_VID} -c:v mpeg4 -filter:v "scale=min(iw\,(360*iw)/min(iw\,ih)):-1" -b:v 640k -an ${DST_VID}
# or, convet to sort_edge_length = 256
ffmpeg -y -i ${SRC_VID} -c:v mpeg4 -filter:v "scale=min(iw\,(256*iw)/min(iw\,ih)):-1" -b:v 512k -an ${DST_VID}
# or, convet to sort_edge_length = 160
ffmpeg -y -i ${SRC_VID} -c:v mpeg4 -filter:v "scale=min(iw\,(160*iw)/min(iw\,ih)):-1" -b:v 240k -an ${DST_VID}

• Find another computer with better CPU.
• The group convolution may not be well optimized.
