Keras video classification example with a subset of UCF101 - Action Recognition Data Set (top 5 videos)

Classify video clips with natural scenes of actions performed by people visible in the videos.

See the UCF101 Dataset web page: https://www.crcv.ucf.edu/data/UCF101.php#Results_on_UCF101

This example datasets consists of the 5 most numerous video from the UCF101 dataset. For the top 10 version see: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7882861 .

Based on this code: https://keras.io/examples/vision/video_classification/ (needs to be updated, if has not yet been already; see the issue: https://github.com/keras-team/keras-io/issues/1342).

Testing if data can be downloaded from figshare with `wget`, see: https://github.com/mojaveazure/angsd-wrapper/issues/10

For generating the subset, see this notebook: https://colab.research.google.com/github/sayakpaul/Action-Recognition-in-TensorFlow/blob/main/Data_Preparation_UCF101.ipynb -- however, it also needs to be adjusted (if has not yet been already - then I will post a link to the notebook here or elsewhere, e.g., in the corrected notebook with Keras example).

I would like to thank Sayak Paul for contacting me about his example at Keras documentation being out of date.
