Decoupling Spatio-Temporal Adapter for Fine-Grained Badminton Action Localization

arXiv:2605.23355v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Temporal Action Localization (TAL) has been extensively studied in generic video understanding, while fine-grained sports scenarios, such as professional badminton, remain underexplored due to their complex and subtle spatio-temporal dynamics. In this paper, we focus on fine-grained TAL in professional badminton videos and introduce a new benchmark dataset, Fine-Badminton, which consists of 31 matches with 29 fine-grained stroke categories, covering 2104 rallies and 27597 annotated actions. To effectively capture the intricate motion patterns i
