Abstract

Skeleton-based human action recognition has achieved a great interest in recent years. The strong robustness of skeleton data to scene and camera interference makes the recognition algorithm follow with interest robust features of actions. Recent works has proved the effectiveness of skeleton modeling based on graph and learning spatio-temporal modes by Graph Convolutional Network (GCN). Although GCNs have excellent ability of neighborhood feature learning, it is not good at capturing long-distance dependence between joints. In particular, linear temporal skeleton sequences contain a great quantity of joints., which makes the process of learning advanced temporal cues unduly slow. In this paper, we propose a temporal feature enhancer using Temporal Kernel Attention (TKA). And guided by TKA, we design a performance-oriented network TKA-GCN and a lightweight network Mini-TKA-GCN for skeleton-based action recognition. Finally, on NTU-RGBD 60 and Kinetics-Skeleton 400 datasets, TKA-GCN and Mini-TKA-GCN proposed by this work, outperform most advanced works.
