EARLY ACTION PREDICTION USING VGG16 MODEL AND BIDIRECTIONAL LSTM

Action prediction plays a key function, where an expected action needs to be identified before the action is completely performed. Prediction means inferring a potential action until it occurs at its early stage. This paper emphasizes on early action prediction, to predict an action before it occurs. In real time scenarios, the early prediction can be very crucial and has many applications like automated driving system, healthcare, video surveillance and other scenarios where a proactive action is needed before the situation goes out of control. VGG16 model is used for the early action prediction which is a convolutional neural network with 16 layers depth. Besides its capability of classifying objects in the frames, the availability of model weights enhances its capability. The model weights are available freely and preferred to used in different applications or models. The VGG-16 model along with Bidirectional structure of Lstm enables the network to provide both backward and forward information at every time step. The results of the proposed approach increased observation ratio ranging from 0.1 to 1.0 compared with the accuracy of GAN model.
