CTR-GCN

This repo is the official implementation for Channel-wise Topology Refinement Graph Convolution for Skeleton-Based Action Recognition. The paper is accepted to ICCV2021.

Note: We also provide a simple and strong baseline model, which achieves 83.7% on NTU120 CSub with joint modality only, to facilitate the development of skeleton-based action recognition.

Architecture of CTR-GC

Prerequisites

• Python >= 3.6

• PyTorch >= 1.1.0

• PyYAML, tqdm, tensorboardX

• We provide the dependency file of our experimental environment, you can install all dependencies by creating a new anaconda virtual environment and running pip install -r requirements.txt

• Run pip install -e torchlight

Data Preparation

Download datasets.

There are 3 datasets to download:

• NTU RGB+D 60 Skeleton
• NTU RGB+D 120 Skeleton
• NW-UCLA

NTU RGB+D 60 and 120

1. Request dataset here: https://rose1.ntu.edu.sg/dataset/actionRecognition
2. Download the skeleton-only datasets:
   1. nturgbd_skeletons_s001_to_s017.zip (NTU RGB+D 60)
   2. nturgbd_skeletons_s018_to_s032.zip (NTU RGB+D 120)
   3. Extract above files to ./data/nturgbd_raw

NW-UCLA

1. Download dataset from here
2. Move all_sqe to ./data/NW-UCLA

Data Processing

Directory Structure

Put downloaded data into the following directory structure:

- data/
  - NW-UCLA/
    - all_sqe
      ... # raw data of NW-UCLA
  - ntu/
  - ntu120/
  - nturgbd_raw/
    - nturgb+d_skeletons/     # from `nturgbd_skeletons_s001_to_s017.zip`
      ...
    - nturgb+d_skeletons120/  # from `nturgbd_skeletons_s018_to_s032.zip`
      ...

Generating Data

• Generate NTU RGB+D 60 or NTU RGB+D 120 dataset:

 cd ./data/ntu # or cd ./data/ntu120
 # Get skeleton of each performer
 python get_raw_skes_data.py
 # Remove the bad skeleton 
 python get_raw_denoised_data.py
 # Transform the skeleton to the center of the first frame
 python seq_transformation.py

Training & Testing

Training

• Change the config file depending on what you want.

# Example: training CTRGCN on NTU RGB+D 120 cross subject with GPU 0
python main.py --config config/nturgbd120-cross-subject/default.yaml --work-dir work_dir/ntu120/csub/ctrgcn --device 0
# Example: training provided baseline on NTU RGB+D 120 cross subject
python main.py --config config/nturgbd120-cross-subject/default.yaml --model model.baseline.Model--work-dir work_dir/ntu120/csub/baseline --device 0

• To train model on NTU RGB+D 60/120 with bone or motion modalities, setting bone or vel arguments in the config file default.yaml or in the command line.

# Example: training CTRGCN on NTU RGB+D 120 cross subject under bone modality
python main.py --config config/nturgbd120-cross-subject/default.yaml --train_feeder_args bone=True --test_feeder_args bone=True --work-dir work_dir/ntu120/csub/ctrgcn_bone --device 0

• To train model on NW-UCLA with bone or motion modalities, you need to modify data_path in train_feeder_args and test_feeder_args to "bone" or "motion" or "bone motion", and run

python main.py --config config/ucla/default.yaml --work-dir work_dir/ucla/ctrgcn_xxx --device 0

• To train your own model, put model file your_model.py under ./model and run:

# Example: training your own model on NTU RGB+D 120 cross subject
python main.py --config config/nturgbd120-cross-subject/default.yaml --model model.your_model.Model --work-dir work_dir/ntu120/csub/your_model --device 0

Testing

• To test the trained models saved in <work_dir>, run the following command:

python main.py --config <work_dir>/config.yaml --work-dir <work_dir> --phase test --save-score True --weights <work_dir>/xxx.pt --device 0

• To ensemble the results of different modalities, run

# Example: ensemble four modalities of CTRGCN on NTU RGB+D 120 cross subject
python ensemble.py --datasets ntu120/xsub --joint-dir work_dir/ntu120/csub/ctrgcn --bone-dir work_dir/ntu120/csub/ctrgcn_bone --joint-motion-dir work_dir/ntu120/csub/ctrgcn_motion --bone-motion-dir work_dir/ntu120/csub/ctrgcn_bone_motion

Pretrained Models

• Download pretrained models for producing the final results on NTU RGB+D 60&120 cross subject [Google Drive].
• Put files to <work_dir> and run Testing command to produce the final result.
