Continuous Sign Language Recognition via Temporal Super-Resolution Network
Aiming at the problem that the spatial-temporal hierarchical continuous sign language recognition model based on deep learning has a large amount of computation, which limits the real-time application of the model, this paper proposes a temporal super-resolution network(TSRNet). The data is reconstructed into a dense feature sequence to reduce the overall model computation while keeping the final recognition accuracy loss to a minimum. The continuous sign language recognition model(CSLR) via TSRNet mainly consists of three parts: frame-level feature extraction, time series feature extraction and TSRNet, where TSRNet is located between frame-level feature extraction and time-series feature extraction, which mainly includes two branches: detail descriptor and rough descriptor. The sparse frame-level features are fused through the features obtained by the two designed branches as the reconstructed dense frame-level feature sequence, and the connectionist temporal classification(CTC) loss is used for training and optimization after the time-series feature extraction part. To better recover semantic-level information, the overall model is trained with the self-generating adversarial training method proposed in this paper to reduce the model error rate. The training method regards the TSRNet as the generator, and the frame-level processing part and the temporal processing part as the discriminator. In addition, in order to unify the evaluation criteria of model accuracy loss under different benchmarks, this paper proposes word error rate deviation(WERD), which takes the error rate between the estimated word error rate (WER) and the reference WER obtained by the reconstructed frame-level feature sequence and the complete original frame-level feature sequence as the WERD. Experiments on two large-scale sign language datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model.
