**ViT-LSTM Action Recognition**
Overview
This project implements an Action Recognition Model using a ViT-LSTM architecture. It takes a short video as input and predicts the action performed in the video. The model extracts frame-wise ViT features and processes them using an LSTM to capture temporal dependencies.

**Model Details**
Base Model: ViT-Base-Patch16-224
Architecture: ViT (Feature Extractor) + LSTM (Temporal Modeling)
Number of Classes: 5
Dataset: Custom dataset with the following action categories:
 BaseballPitch
 Basketball
 BenchPress
 Biking
 Billiards
**Working**
Extract Frames – The model extracts up to 16 frames from the uploaded video.
Feature Extraction – Each frame is passed through ViT, and feature vectors are obtained.
Temporal Processing – The LSTM processes these features to capture motion information.
Prediction – The final output is classified into one of the 5 action categories.

Model Training Details
Feature Dimension: 768
LSTM Hidden Dimension: 512
Number of LSTM Layers: 2 (Bidirectional)
Dropout: 0.3
Optimizer: Adam
Loss Function: Cross-Entropy Loss
 Example Usage (Code Snippet)
If you want to use this model locally:
````
import torch
from transformers import ViTImageProcessor, ViTModel
from PIL import Image
import cv2

# Load Pretrained ViT
vit_processor = ViTImageProcessor.from_pretrained("google/vit-base-patch16-224")
vit_model = ViTModel.from_pretrained("google/vit-base-patch16-224")

# Load Custom ViT-LSTM Model
model = torch.load("Vit-LSTM.pth")
model.eval()

# Process an Example Video
video_path = "example.mp4"
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(video_path)
frames = []

while cap.isOpened():
    ret, frame = cap.read()
    if not ret:
        break
    frame = cv2.cvtColor(frame, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
    frames.append(Image.fromarray(frame))

cap.release()

# Extract Features
inputs = vit_processor(images=frames, return_tensors="pt")["pixel_values"]
features = vit_model(inputs).last_hidden_state.mean(dim=1)

# Predict
features = features.unsqueeze(0)  # Add batch dimension
output = model(features)
predicted_class = torch.argmax(output, dim=1).item()

LABELS = ["BaseballPitch", "Basketball", "BenchPress", "Biking", "Billiards"]
print("Predicted Action:", LABELS[predicted_class])
