This repository contains trained models reported in the paper "Quo Vadis, Action Recognition? A New Model and the Kinetics Dataset" by Joao Carreira and Andrew Zisserman. The paper was posted on arXiv in May 2017, and will be published as a CVPR 2017 conference paper.
"Quo Vadis" introduced a new architecture for video classification, the Inflated 3D Convnet or I3D. Here we release Inception-v1 I3D models trained on the Kinetics dataset training split.
In our paper, we reported state-of-the-art results on the UCF101 and HMDB51 datasets from fine-tuning these models. I3D models pre-trained on Kinetics also placed first in the CVPR 2017 Charades challenge.
The repository also now includes a pre-trained checkpoint using rgb inputs and trained from scratch on Kinetics-600.
NEW: the video preprocessing we used has now been open-sourced by google. To set it up, check these instructions in Google's MediaPipe repo.
Disclaimer: This is not an official Google product.
First follow the instructions for installing Sonnet.
Then, clone this repository using
$ git clone https://github.com/deepmind/kinetics-i3d
Run the example code using
$ python evaluate_sample.py
With default flags, this builds the I3D two-stream model, loads pre-trained I3D checkpoints into the TensorFlow session, and then passes an example video through the model. The example video has been preprocessed, with RGB and Flow NumPy arrays provided (see more details below).
The script outputs the norm of the logits tensor, as well as the top 20 Kinetics classes predicted by the model with their probability and logit values. Using the default flags, the output should resemble the following up to differences in numerical precision:
Norm of logits: 138.468643

The test file can be run using
$ python i3d_test.py
This checks that the model can be built correctly and produces correct shapes.
The default model has been pre-trained on ImageNet and then Kinetics; other
flags allow for loading a model pre-trained only on Kinetics and for selecting
only the RGB or Flow stream. The script multi_evaluate.sh shows how to run all
these combinations, generating the sample output in the out/ directory.
The directory data/checkpoints contains the four checkpoints that were
trained. The ones just trained on Kinetics are initialized using the default
Sonnet / TensorFlow initializers, while the ones pre-trained on ImageNet are
initialized by bootstrapping the filters from a 2D Inception-v1 model into 3D,
as described in the paper. Importantly, the RGB and Flow streams are trained
separately, each with a softmax classification loss. During test time, we
combine the two streams by adding the logits with equal weighting, as shown in
the evalute_sample.py code.
We train using synchronous SGD using tf.train.SyncReplicasOptimizer. For each
of the RGB and Flow streams, we aggregate across 64 replicas with 4 backup
replicas. During training, we use 0.5 dropout and apply BatchNorm, with a
minibatch size of 6. The optimizer used is SGD with a momentum value of 0.9, and
we use 1e-7 weight decay. The RGB and Flow models are trained for 115k and 155k
steps respectively, with the following learning rate schedules.
RGB:
- 0 - 97k: 1e-1
- 97k - 108k: 1e-2
- 108k - 115k: 1e-3
Flow:
- 0 - 97k: 1e-1
- 97k - 104.5k: 1e-2
- 104.5k - 115k: 1e-3
- 115k - 140k: 1e-1
- 140k - 150k: 1e-2
- 150k - 155k: 1e-3
This is because the Flow models were determined to require more training after an initial run of 115k steps.
The models are trained using the training split of Kinetics. On the Kinetics test set, we obtain the following top-1 / top-5 accuracy:
| Model | ImageNet + Kinetics | Kinetics |
|---|---|---|
| RGB-I3D | 71.1 / 89.3 | 68.4 / 88.0 |
| Flow-I3D | 63.4 / 84.9 | 61.5 / 83.4 |
| Two-Stream I3D | 74.2 / 91.3 | 71.6 / 90.0 |
The release of the DeepMind Kinetics dataset only
included the YouTube IDs and the start and end times of the clips. For the
sample data here, we use a video from the UCF101 dataset, for which all the
videos are provided in full. The video used is v_CricketShot_g04_c01.mp4 which
can be downloaded from the UCF101
website.
Our preprocessing uses internal libraries, that have now been open-sourced check Google's MediaPipe repo. It does the following: for both streams, we sample frames at 25 frames per second. For Kinetics, we additionally clip the videos at the start and end times provided.
For RGB, the videos are resized preserving aspect ratio so that the smallest
dimension is 256 pixels, with bilinear interpolation. Pixel values are then
rescaled between -1 and 1. During training, we randomly select a 224x224 image
crop, while during test, we select the center 224x224 image crop from the video.
The provided .npy file thus has shape (1, num_frames, 224, 224, 3) for RGB,
corresponding to a batch size of 1.
For the Flow stream, after sampling the videos at 25 frames per second, we
convert the videos to grayscale. We apply a TV-L1 optical flow algorithm,
similar to this code from
OpenCV.
Pixel values are truncated to the range [-20, 20], then rescaled between -1 and 1.
We only use the first two output dimensions, and apply the same cropping as
for RGB. The provided .npy file thus has shape (1, num_frames, 224, 224, 2)
for Flow, corresponding to a batch size of 1.
Here are gifs showing the provided .npy files. From the RGB data, we added 1
and then divided by 2 to rescale between 0 and 1. For the Flow data, we added a
third channel of all 0, then added 0.5 to the entire array, so that results are
also between 0 and 1.
