Similarity-preserving hashing is a widely-used method for nearest neighbour search in large-scale image retrieval tasks. There has been considerable research on generating efficient image representation via the deep-network-based hashing…
Existing video indexing and retrieval methods on popular web-based multimedia sharing websites are based on user-provided sparse tagging. This paper proposes a very specific way of searching for video clips, based on the content of the…
Benefiting from the advances in large language models and cross-modal alignment, existing multimodal large language models have achieved prominent performance in image and short video understanding. However, the understanding of long videos…
Most of the existing methods for video understanding primarily focus on videos only lasting tens of seconds, with limited exploration of techniques for handling long videos. The increased number of frames in long videos poses two main…
This paper attacks the challenging problem of video retrieval by text. In such a retrieval paradigm, an end user searches for unlabeled videos by ad-hoc queries described exclusively in the form of a natural-language sentence, with no…
Video temporal grounding aims to pinpoint a video segment that matches the query description. Despite the recent advance in short-form videos (\textit{e.g.}, in minutes), temporal grounding in long videos (\textit{e.g.}, in hours) is still…
With ever increasing computing power and data storage capacity, the potential for large digital video libraries is growing rapidly.However, the massive use of video for the moment is limited by its opaque characteristics. Indeed, a user who…
Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are able to process increasingly longer videos. Yet, important visual information is easily lost throughout the entire context and missed by VLMs. Also, it is important to design tools that enable…
Given a collection of videos, how to detect content-based copies efficiently with high accuracy? Detecting copies in large video collections still remains one of the major challenges of multimedia retrieval. While many video copy detection…
Comprehending long videos remains a significant challenge for Large Multi-modal Models (LMMs). Current LMMs struggle to process even minutes to hours videos due to their lack of explicit memory and retrieval mechanisms. To address this…
In this work, we propose a no-reference video quality assessment method, aiming to achieve high-generalization capability in cross-content, -resolution and -frame rate quality prediction. In particular, we evaluate the quality of a video by…
Representing visual data using compact binary codes is attracting increasing attention as binary codes are used as direct indices into hash table(s) for fast non-exhaustive search. Recent methods show that ranking binary codes using…
In this paper, we propose to learn temporal embeddings of video frames for complex video analysis. Large quantities of unlabeled video data can be easily obtained from the Internet. These videos possess the implicit weak label that they are…
Hashing is an efficient method for nearest neighbor search in large-scale data space by embedding high-dimensional feature descriptors into a similarity preserving Hamming space with a low dimension. However, large-scale high-speed…
Our goal in this paper is the adaptation of image-text models for long video retrieval. Recent works have demonstrated state-of-the-art performance in video retrieval by adopting CLIP, effectively hitchhiking on the image-text…
Large volumes of videos are continuously recorded from cameras deployed for traffic control and surveillance with the goal of answering "after the fact" queries: identify video frames with objects of certain classes (cars, bags) from many…
Query-based video situation detection (as opposed to manual or customized algorithms) is critical for diverse applications such as traffic monitoring, surveillance1 , and other types of environmental/infrastructure monitoring. Video…
Video captioning has been attracting broad research attention in multimedia community. However, most existing approaches either ignore temporal information among video frames or just employ local contextual temporal knowledge. In this work,…
Given the explosive growth of online videos, it is becoming increasingly important to relieve the tedious work of browsing and managing the video content of interest. Video summarization aims at providing such a technique by transforming…
Video hashing finds a wide array of applications in content authentication, robust retrieval and anti-piracy search. While much of the existing research has focused on extracting robust and secure content descriptors, a significant open…
