SCP: Soft Conditional Prompt Learning for Aerial Video Action Recognition

원문 초록

We present a new learning approach, Soft Conditional Prompt Learning (SCP), which leverages the strengths of prompt learning for aerial video action recognition. Our approach is designed to predict the action of each agent by helping the models focus on the descriptions or instructions associated with actions in the input videos for aerial/robot visual perception. Our formulation supports various prompts, including learnable prompts, auxiliary visual information, and large vision models to improve the recognition performance. We present a soft conditional prompt method that learns to dynamically generate prompts from a pool of prompt experts under different video inputs. By sharing the same objective with the task, our proposed SCP can optimize prompts that guide the model's predictions while explicitly learning input-invariant (prompt experts pool) and input-specific (data-dependent) prompt knowledge. In practice, we observe a 3.17-10.2% accuracy improvement on the aerial video datasets (Okutama, NECDrone), which consist of scenes with single-agent and multi-agent actions. We further evaluate our approach on ground camera videos to verify the effectiveness and generalization and achieve a 1.0-3.6% improvement on dataset SSV2. We integrate our method into the ROS2 as well.
