MMAction is an open source toolbox for action understanding based on PyTorch. It is a part of the open-mmlab project developed by Multimedia Laboratory, CUHK.
-
MMAction is capable of dealing with all of the tasks below.
- action recognition from trimmed videos
- temporal action detection (also known as action localization) in untrimmed videos
- spatial-temporal action detection in untrimmed videos.
-
Support for various datasets
Video datasets have emerging throughout the recent years and have greatly fostered the devlopment of this field. MMAction provides tools to deal with various datasets.
-
Support for multiple action understanding frameworks
MMAction implements popular frameworks such as TSN, I3D for action recognition and SSN for temporal action detection. For the recently introduced spatial temporal atomic action detection, a Fast-RCNN baseline is provided.
-
Modular design
The tasks in human action understanding share some common aspects such as backbones, and long-term and short-term sampling schemes. Also, tasks can benefit from each other. For example, a better backbone for action recognition will bring performance gain for action detection. Modular design enables us to view action understanding in a more integrated perspective.
The project is release under the Apache 2.0 license.
