Abstract:
In the realm of computer vision and video analysis, the quest for efficient yet effective methodologies has given rise to transformative research. In this talk, we will introduce innovative approaches that enhance computational efficiency without sacrificing performance. Firstly, we will introduce a novel mask propagation framework for efficient video semantic segmentation by propagating masks efficiently across video frames. This approach significantly reduces computational costs while achieving state-of-the-art performance. Then, we will introduce an efficient spatio-temporal pyramid transformer for action detection. This framework optimally balances accuracy and efficiency by incorporating local and global attention mechanisms, resulting in a model that outperforms existing methods with reduced computational complexity. The confluence of these works underscores the vital importance of efficiency in video understanding, with applications spanning autonomous vehicles, surveillance, and entertainment.
