Fine-grained understanding of operating room (OR) activity could enable workflow-aware assistance, yet remains difficult due to clutter, occlusions, and limited sensing. The prevailing approach to model this environment is scene graphs as an interpretable representation of OR interactions.
The paper introduces GaitMoE, an action‑detection based mixture‑of‑experts framework for occluded gait recognition, leveraging temporal and action experts to infer missing body parts from adjacent frames and gait cycles. It also presents a new Occluded Gait database (OccGait) with diverse occlusion scenarios and annotations, and demonstrates superior performance on OccGait, OccCASIA‑B, Gait3D, and GREW datasets.

Low-light image enhancement is severely ill-posed when the input frame contains missing structure, saturated noise, and weak local contrast. Event cameras provide asynchronous brightness-change observations with high temporal resolution, but prior works often treat voxel channels as an unordered or static feature stack before fusion, rather than explicitly modeling their within-window temporal evolution, weakening the temporal evidence that makes events useful.
arXiv:2607. 00716v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Skeleton-based action recognition has achieved remarkable success by exploiting joint coordinates and their topological connections, yet prevailing methods overwhelmingly assume complete and clean skeleton inputs.

Action Quality Assessment (AQA) aims to objectively evaluate performance quality from action videos. Most existing methods follow a ``one-by-one'' paradigm, training a separate model for each action type.
The paper introduces Skeleton-Language feature Pooling Switching, a weakly‑supervised vision‑language pretraining strategy for skeleton‑based zero‑shot spatio‑temporal action localization. It replaces video‑level pooling with instance‑level feature computation during inference, enabling the model to estimate unseen actions without costly annotations. Additionally, Scene‑Mixed Discriminative Contrastive Learning is proposed to separate actions at the instance level within mixed scenes using a MIL framework, and experiments on four public datasets confirm the method’s effectiveness.
