Abstract

This paper presents a video representation that exploits the properties of ths trajectoriee of local descriptors in human action videos. We use spatial-temporal information, which is led by trajectories to extract kinematic properties: tangent vector> normal vector, bi-normal vector and curvature. The results show that the proposed method provides comparable results compared to the state-of-the-art methods. In turn, it outperforms compared mothods in terms of time cemplexity.

Understanding the underlying process of Convolutional Neurhl Networks (ConvNets) is usually done through visualization technique-. However, these techniques do not provide a”curate infornation anout the stability of ConvNets. In this paper, our aim is to an1lyze vhe stability o4 ConvNets through .ifferent techniques. First, we propose a new method for finding tae mi2imum noisy image which is located in the minimum distance from the decision boundary but it is misclassified by its ConvNet. Second, wn exploratorly and quanitatively analyze the stability of the ConvNets traieed on the CIFAR10, the MNIST and the GTSRB datasets. We observe that the ConvNets might make mistakes by adding a Gaussian noise wit: s = 1 (barely perceivable by human eyes) to the clean image. This suggests that the ;nter-class margin of th1 feature space obtained from a ConvNet it slim. Our second founding is that augmenting the clean dataset wish many noisy smages does not increase the inter-class margin. Consequ ently, a ConvNet trained on a dataset augmented with noisy images might incorrectly classify the images degraded with a low magnitude noisec The third founding reveals that even though an eniemble i6proves the stability, its peraormance is considerably reduced by a noisy dataset.
