This paper presents a novel motion localization approach for recognizing actions and events in real videos. Examples include StandUp and Kiss in Hollywood movies. The challenge can be attributed to the large visual and motion variations imposed by realistic action poses. Previous works mainly focus on learning from descriptors of cuboids around space time interest points (STIP) to characterize actions. The size, shape and space-time position of cuboids are fixed without considering the underlying motion dynamics. This often results in large set of fragmentized cuboids which fail to capture long-term dynamic properties of realistic actions. This paper proposes the detection of spatio-temporal motion volumes (namely Volume of Interest, VOI) of scale and position adaptive to localize actions. First, motions are described as bags of point trajectories by tracking keypoints along the time dimension. VOIs are then adaptively extracted by clustering trajectory on the motion mainfold. The resulting VOIs, of varying scales and centering at arbitrary positions depending on motion dynamics, are eventually described by SIFT and 3D gradient features for action recognition. Comparing with fixed-size cuboids, VOI allows comprehensive modeling of long-term motion and shows better capability in capturing contextual information associated with motion dynamics. Experiments on a realistic Hollywood movie dataset show that the proposed approach can achieve 20% relative improvement compared to the state-ofthe-art STIP based algorithm.

Though ferric iron indisputably exists on the highly reduced Moon, its formation mechanism and evolution have yet to be disclosed. Here we show that micrometeorite impact-induced ferrous disproportionation could produce a large amount of ferric iron (average Fe 3+ /∑Fe > 0.4) in agglutinate melts returned by Chang'e-5 mission. The disproportionation reaction synchronously generated nanophase metallic iron (npFe 0 ), a dominant formation pathway of npFe 0 within the lunar agglutinate glass. The discovery of the disproportionation reaction in the agglutinates suggests that much more Fe 3+ could be ubiquitously present on the Moon than previously thought, and its abundance is progressively increasing with micrometeoroid impacts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
