SKGHOI: Spatial-Semantic Knowledge Graph for Human-Object Interaction Detection
share
Detecting human-object interactions (HOIs) is a challenging problem in computer vision. Existing techniques for HOI detection heavily rely on appearance-based features, which may not capture other essential characteristics for accurate detection. Furthermore, the use of transformer-based models for sentiment representation of human-object pairs can be computationally expensive. To address these challenges, we propose a novel graph-based approach, SKGHOI (Spatial-Semantic Knowledge Graph for Human-Object Interaction Detection), that effectively captures the sentiment representation of HOIs by integrating both spatial and semantic knowledge. In a graph, SKGHOI takes the components of interaction as nodes, and the spatial relationships between them as edges. Our approach employs a spatial encoder and a semantic encoder to extract spatial and semantic information, respectively, and then combines these encodings to create a knowledge graph that captures the sentiment representation of HOIs. Compared to existing techniques, SKGHOI is computationally efficient and allows for the incorporation of prior knowledge, making it practical for use in real-world applications. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method on the widely-used HICO-DET datasets, where it outperforms existing state-of-the-art graph-based methods by a significant margin. Our results indicate that the SKGHOI approach has the potential to significantly improve the accuracy and efficiency of HOI detection, and we anticipate that it will be of great interest to researchers and practitioners working on this challenging task.
