Herein, we address transitional actions class as a class between actions. Transitional actions should be useful for producing short-term action predictions while an action is transitive. However, transitional action recognition is difficult because actions and transitional actions partially overlap each other. To deal with this issue, we propose a subtle motion descriptor (SMD) that identifies the sensitive differences between actions and transitional actions. The two primary contributions in this paper are as follows: (i) defining transitional actions for short-term action predictions that permit earlier predictions than early action recognition, and (ii) utilizing convolutional neural network (CNN) based SMD to present a clear distinction between actions and transitional actions.Using three different datasets, we will show that our proposed approach produces better results than do other state-of-the-art models. The experimental results clearly show the recognition performance effectiveness of our proposed model, as well as its ability to comprehend temporal motion in transitional actions.
Kataoka et al. REF introduced a subtle motion descriptor to identify the difference between on-going action and transitional action, and therefore facilitate future anticipation.
