Dynamic gesture recognition, which plays an essential role in human-computer interaction, has been widely investigated but not yet addressed. The interference of the varied and complex background makes the classifier easily be misguided due to the relatively smaller size of the hands and arms compared with the full scenes. In this paper, we address the problem by proposing a novel spatiotemporal deformable convolutional neural network for end-to-end learning. To eliminate the background interference, a light-weight spatiotemporal deformable convolution module is specially designed to augment the spatiotemporal sampling locations of 3D convolution by learning additional offsets according to the preceding feature map. The proposed method is evaluated on two challenging datasets, EgoGesture and Jester, and achieves the state-of-the-art performance on both of the two datasets. The code and trained models will be released for better communication and future work.
