New system uses codec motion vectors for faster online action detection

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed CodecMotion-OAD, a novel system for online action detection in videos that utilizes codec motion vectors (MVs) instead of traditional optical flow. This approach significantly reduces computational load by leveraging MVs available during video decoding, eliminating the need for a separate, intensive optical flow computation. While achieving slightly lower performance on the THUMOS'14 benchmark compared to optical flow-based methods, CodecMotion-OAD offers substantial speed improvements, making it a more efficient solution for real-time video analysis.

IMPACT Offers a more computationally efficient approach to real-time video analysis by reducing processing time.

    CodecMotion-OAD: Efficient Online Action Detection with Compressed-Domain Motion

    arXiv:2610.26915v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Online action detection (OAD) identifies ongoing actions in streaming videos. Many existing OAD systems combine RGB appearance with optical flow, but dense-flow extraction remains a major computational bottleneck. Codec motion vecto…
