MMAction2 is an open-source toolbox for video understanding based on PyTorch. It is a part of the OpenMMLab project.

The master branch works with PyTorch 1.3+.


Action Recognition Results on Kinetics-400

Spatio-Temporal Action Detection Results on AVA-2.1

Skeleton-base Action Recognition Results on NTU-RGB+D-120

Major Features

  • Modular design

    We decompose the video understanding framework into different components and one can easily construct a customized video understanding framework by combining different modules.

  • Support for various datasets

    The toolbox directly supports multiple datasets, UCF101, Kinetics-[400/600/700], Something-Something V1&V2, Moments in Time, Multi-Moments in Time, THUMOS14, etc.

  • Support for multiple video understanding frameworks

    MMAction2 implements popular frameworks for video understanding:

    • For action recognition, various algorithms are implemented, including TSN, TSM, TIN, R(2+1)D, I3D, SlowOnly, SlowFast, CSN, Non-local, etc.

    • For temporal action localization, we implement BSN, BMN, SSN.

    • For spatial temporal detection, we implement SlowOnly, SlowFast.

  • Well tested and documented

    We provide detailed documentation and API reference, as well as unittests.

Changelog

v0.19.0 was released in 07/10/2021. Please refer to changelog.md for details and release history.
