contents Online temporal action segmentation shows a strong potential to facilitate many HRI tasks where extended human action sequences must be tracked and understood in real time. Traditional action segmentation approaches, however, operate in an offline two stage approach, relying on computationally expensive video wide features for segmentation, rendering them unsuitable for online HRI applications. In order to facilitate online action segmentation on a stream of incoming video data, we introduce two methods for improved training and inference of backbone action recognition models, allowing them to be deployed directly for online frame level classification. Firstly, we introduce surround dense sampling whilst training to facilitate training vs. inference clip matching and improve segment boundary predictions. Secondly, we introduce an Online Temporally Aware Label Cleaning (O-TALC) strategy to explicitly reduce oversegmentation during online inference. As our methods are backbone invariant, they can be deployed with computationally efficient spatio-temporal action recognition models capable of operating in real time with a small segmentation latency. We show our method outperforms similar online action segmentation work as well as matches the performance of many offline models with access to full temporal resolution when operating on challenging fine-grained datasets.
