MUSES

This repo holds the code and the models for MUSES, introduced in the paper:
Multi-shot Temporal Event Localization: a Benchmark
Xiaolong Liu, Yao Hu, Song Bai, Fei Ding, Xiang Bai, Philip H.S. Torr
CVPR 2021.

MUSES is a large-scale video dataset, designed to spur researches on a new task called multi-shot temporal event localization. We present a baseline aproach (denoted as MUSES-Net) that achieves SOTA performance on MUSES. It also reports an mAP of 56.9% on THUMOS14 at IoU=0.5.

The code largely borrows from SSN and P-GCN. Thanks for their great work!

Find more resouces (e.g. annotation file, source videos) on our project page.

Updates

[2022.3.19] Add support for the MUSES dataset. The proposals, models, source videos of the MUSES dataset are released. Stay tuned for MUSES v2, which includes videos from more countries.
[2021.6.19] Code and the annotation file of MUSES are released. Please find the annotation file on our project page.

Usage Guide

Prerequisites

[back to top]

The code is based on PyTorch. The following environment is required.

• Python 3
• PyTorch >= 1.3.0
• CUDA >= 9.2

Other minor Python modules can be installed by running

pip install -r requirements.txt

The code relies on CUDA extensions. Build them with the following command:

python setup.py develop

After installing all dependecies, run python demo.py for a quick test.

Data Preparation

[back to top]

We support experimenting with THUMOS14 and MUSES. The video features, the proposals and the reference models are provided on OneDrive.

Features and Proposals

• THUMOS14: The features and the proposals are the same as thosed used by PGCN. Extract the archive thumos_i3d_features.tar and put the features in data/thumos14 folder. The proposal files are already contained in the repository. We expect the following structure in this folder.

  - data
    - thumos14
      - I3D_RGB
      - I3D_Flow
  

• MUSES: Extract the archives of features and proposal files.

  # The archive does not have a directory structure
  # We need to create one
  mkdir -p data/muses/muses_i3d_features
  tar -xf muses_i3d_features.tar -C data/muses/muses_i3d_features
  tar -xf muses_proposals.tar -C data/muses

  We expect the following structure in this folder.

  - data
    - muses
      - muses_i3d_features
      - muses_test_proposal_list.txt
      - ...
  

You can also specify the path to the features/proposals in the config files data/cfgs/*.yml.

Reference Models

Put the reference_models folder in the root directory of this code:

 - reference_models
   - muses.pth.tar
   - thumos14_flow.pth.tar
   - thumos14_rgb.pth.tar

Testing Trained Models

[back to top]

You can test the reference models by running a single script

bash scripts/test_reference_models.sh DATASET

Here DATASET should be thumos14 or muses.

Using these models, you should get the following performance

MUSES

Note: We re-train the network on MUSES and the performance is higher than that reported in the paper.

THUMOS14

The testing process consists of two steps, detailed below.

1. Extract detection scores for all the proposals by running

python test_net.py DATASET CHECKPOINT_PATH RESULT_PICKLE --cfg CFG_PATH

Here, RESULT_PICKLE is the path where we save the detection scores. CFG_PATH is the path of config file, e.g. data/cfgs/thumos14_flow.yml.

2. Evaluate the detection performance by running

python eval.py DATASET RESULT_PICKLE --cfg CFG_PATH

On THUMOS14, we need to fuse the detection scores with RGB and Flow modality. This can be done by running

python eval.py DATASET RESULT_PICKLE_RGB RESULT_PICKLE_FLOW --cfg CFG_PATH --score_weights 1 1.2 --cfg CFG_PATH_RGB

Training

[back to top]

Train your own models with the following command

python train_net.py  DATASET  --cfg CFG_PATH --snapshot_pref SNAPSHOT_PREF --epochs MAX_EPOCHS

SNAPSHOT_PREF: the path to save trained models and logs, e.g outputs/snapshpts/thumos14_rgb/.

We provide a script that finishes all steps, including training, testing, and two-stream fusion. Run the script with the following command

bash scripts/do_all.sh DATASET

Note: The results may vary in different runs and differs from those of the reference models. It is encouraged to use the average mAP as the primary metric. It is more stable than mAP@0.5.
