To obtain a more comprehensive activity understanding for crowded scene, in this paper, we propose new problem of panoramic human recognition (PAR), which aims to simultaneously achieve the individual actions, social group activities, and global activities. This is challenging yet practical real-world applications. track problem, develop novel hierarchical graph neural network progressively rep...
