Video Relation Detection with Trajectory-aware Multi-modal Features

Abstract: Video relation detection problem refers to the detection of the relationship between different objects in videos, such as spatial relationship and action relationship. In this paper, we present video relation detection with trajectory-aware multi-modal features to solve this task. Considering the complexity of doing visual relation detection in videos, we decompose this task into three sub-tasks: object detection, trajectory proposal and relation prediction. We use the state-of-the-art object detection method to ensure the accuracy of object trajectory detection and multi-modal feature representation to help the prediction of relation between objects. Our method won the first place on the video relation detection task of Video Relation Understanding Grand Challenge in ACM Multimedia 2020 with 11.74\% mAP, which surpasses other methods by a large margin.
