Abstract

En 中文
Skeleton-based human action recognition has emerged as a prominent research focus in computer vision, with significant progress achieved in recent years. However, existing methods often suffer substantial performance degradation under real-world data constraints, such as body occlusion, missing frames, and noise. These limitations critically undermine the robustness of related techniques in practical applications. To address these challenges, we propose a Spatial Temporal Self-compensating Graph Convolutional Network (STSc-GCN), which skillfully utilizes the systematic and regular nature of human movement to mitigate performance degradation caused by data constraints through a data self-compensation mechanism. Specifically, STSc-GCN comprises two key modules: 1) collaborative motion spatial compensation (CMSC). This module designs multiple distinct topological relationships, primarily including Walk-probability Generality Topology and Self-organizing Particularity Topology, respectively, to deeply explore the universal and personalized collaborative relationships between human joints. These relationships help compensate for the lack of information caused by spatial data constraints and 2) meta-action sharpening temporal Compensation (MSTC). This module introduces a novel motion sharpening mechanism that enhances key dynamic information within the meta-action sequences through cross-attention technology, thereby improving model adaptability to missing-frame scenarios. STSc-GCN achieves state-of-the-art performance on four constrained datasets and shows superior results on three widely used standard datasets, confirming its effectiveness in both constrained and general scenarios.
