Video Test-Time Adaptation for Action Recognition (CVPR 2023)

ProjectPage

ViTTA is the first approach of test-time adaptation of video action recognition models against common distribution shifts. ViTTA is tailored to saptio-temporal models and capable of adaptation on a single video sample at a step. It consists in a feature distribution alignment technique that aligns online estimates of test set statistics towards the training statistics. It further enforces prediction consistency over temporally augmented views of the same test video sample.

Requirements

• Our experiments run on Python 3.6, PyTorch 1.7, mmcv-full 1.3.12. Other versions should work but are not tested.
• Dependency of mmaction2 (for Video Swin Transformer):
  $ pip install mmcv-full==1.3.12
  $ git clone https://github.com/SwinTransformer/Video-Swin-Transformer.git && cd Video-Swin-Transformer
  $ pip install -v -e . --user
• Other relevant dependencies can be found in requirements.txt
