Abstract
In group activity recognition, the temporal dynamics of the whole activity can be inferredbased on the dynamics of the individual people representing the activity. We build a deepmodel to capture these dynamics based on LSTM (long-short term memory) models. Tomake use of these observations, we present a 2-stage deep temporal model for the groupactivity recognition problem. In our model, a LSTM model is designed to represent actiondynamics of individual people in a sequence and another LSTM model is designed to aggregatehuman-level information for whole activity understanding. We evaluate our modelover two datasets: the collective activity dataset and a new volleyball dataset. Experimentalresults demonstrate that our proposed model improves group activity recognitionperformance as compared to baseline methods.
