US Patent 11594006 Self-supervised hierarchical motion learning for video action recognition

There are numerous features in video that can be detected using computer-based systems, such as objects and/or motion. The detection of these features, and in particular the detection of motion, has many useful applications, such as action recognition, activity detection, object tracking, etc. The present disclosure provides a neural network that learns motion from unlabeled video frames. In particular, the neural network uses the unlabeled video frames to perform self-supervised hierarchical motion learning. The present disclosure also describes how the learned motion can be used in video action recognition.
