This repository provides instructions regarding the annotations used in the paper: 'Something-Else: Compositional Action Recognition with Spatial-Temporal Interaction Networks' (https://arxiv.org/abs/1912.09930), project website available at https://joaanna.github.io/something_else/. We collected annotations for 180049 videos from the Something-Something Dataset (https://20bn.com/datasets/something-something), that include per frame bounding box annotation for each object and hand in the human-object interaction in the video.
The file containing annotations can be downloaded from:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1XqZC2jIHqrLPugPOVJxCH_YWa275PBrZ in four parts, it containes a dictionary mapping each video id, the name of the video file to the list of per-frame annotations. The annotations assume that the frame rate of the videos is 12. An example of per-frame annotation is shown below, the names and number of "something's" in the frame correspond to the fields 'gt_placeholders' and 'nr_instances', the frame path is given in the field 'name', 'labels' is a list of object's and hand's bounding boxes and names.

The annotations for example videos are a small subset of the annotation file, and can be found in annotations.json.

The compositional, compositional shuffle, one-class compositional and few-shot splits of the Something Something v2 Dataset are available in the folder dataset_splits.
The folder videos contains example videos from the dataset and selected annotations file (full file available on google drive). To visualize videos with annotated bounding boxes run:
python annotate_videos.py
The annotated videos will be saved in the annotated_videos folder.
To train the models from our paper run:
--coord_feature_dim 256 --root_frames /path/to/frames
--json_data_train dataset_splits/compositional/train.json
--json_data_val dataset_splits/compositional/validation.json
--json_file_labels dataset_splits/compositional/labels.json
--tracked_boxes /path/to/bounding_box_annotations.jsonPlace the data in the folder /path/to/frames each video bursted into frames in a separate folder. The ground-truth box annotations can be found in the google drive in parts and have to be concatenated in a single json file.
The models that are using appearance features are initialized with I3D network pre-trained on Kinetics, the checkpoint can be found in the google drive and should be placed in 'model/pretrained_weights/kinetics-res50.pth'.
We also provide some checkpoints to the trained models. To evaluate a model use the same script as for training with a flag --args.evaluate and path to the checkpoint --args.resume /path/to/checkpoint'
We used parts of code from following repositories: https://github.com/facebookresearch/SlowFast https://github.com/TwentyBN/something-something-v2-baseline
