This technical report introduces our 2nd place solution to Kinetics-TPS Track on Part-level Action Parsing in ICCV DeeperAction Workshop 2021. Our entry is mainly based on YOLOF for instance and part detection, HRNet for human pose estimation, and CSN for video-level action recognition and frame-level part state parsing. We describe technical details for the Kinetics-TPS dataset, together with some experimental results. In the competition, we achieved 61.37% mAP on the test set of Kinetics-TPS.

Existing sketch-analysis work studies sketches depicting static objects or scenes. In this work, we propose a novel cross-modal retrieval problem of fine-grained instance-level sketch-based video retrieval (FG-SBVR), where a sketch sequence is used as a query to retrieve a specific target video instance. Compared with sketch-based still image retrieval, and coarse-grained category-level video retrieval, this is more challenging as both visual appearance and motion need to be simultaneously matched at a fine-grained level. We contribute the first FG-SBVR dataset with rich annotations. We then introduce a novel multi-stream multi-modality deep network to perform FG-SBVR under both strong and weakly supervised settings. The key component of the network is a relation module, designed to prevent model over-fitting given scarce training data. We show that this model significantly outperforms a number of existing state-of-the-art models designed for video analysis.
