Abstract
Learning self-supervised video representation predominantly focuses on discriminating instances generated from simple data augmentation schemes. However, the learned representation often fails to generalize over unseen camera viewpoints. To this end, we propose ViewCLR, that learns self-supervised video representation invariant to camera viewpoint changes. We introduce a view-generator that can be considered as a learnable augmentation for any self-supervised pre-text tasks, to generate latent viewpoint representation of a video. ViewCLR maximizes the similarities between the latent viewpoint representation with its representation from the original viewpoint, enabling the learned video encoder to generalize over unseen camera viewpoints. Experiments on cross-view benchmark datasets including NTU RGB+D dataset show that ViewCLR stands as a state-of-the-art viewpoint invariant self-supervised method.
