Video captioning is an advanced multi-modal task which aims to describe a video clip using a natural language sentence. The encoder-decoder framework is the most popular paradigm for this task in recent years. However, there exist some…
Cross-view multi-object tracking aims to link objects between frames and camera views with substantial overlaps. Although cross-view multi-object tracking has received increased attention in recent years, existing datasets still have…
This paper presents the final results of the ICDAR 2021 Competition on Historical Map Segmentation (MapSeg), encouraging research on a series of historical atlases of Paris, France, drawn at 1/5000 scale between 1894 and 1937. The…
The Deep Noise Suppression (DNS) challenge is designed to foster innovation in the area of noise suppression to achieve superior perceptual speech quality. This is the 4th DNS challenge, with the previous editions held at INTERSPEECH 2020,…
Most text detection methods hypothesize texts are horizontal or multi-oriented and thus define quadrangles as the basic detection unit. However, text in the wild is usually perspectively distorted or curved, which can not be easily tackled…
This paper presents the Low-Complexity Acoustic Scene Classification with Device Information Task of the DCASE 2025 Challenge, along with its baseline system. Continuing the focus on low-complexity models, data efficiency, and device…
Modern visual object trackers show impressive results on general targets, yet their performance drops substantially when dealing with scene text. Although currently underexplored, tracking text in videos is essential for dynamic text…
Low-light videos often exhibit spatiotemporal incoherent noise, leading to poor visibility and compromised performance across various computer vision applications. One significant challenge in enhancing such content using modern…
Curation methods for massive vision-language datasets trade off between dataset size and quality. However, even the highest quality of available curated captions are far too short to capture the rich visual detail in an image. To show the…
This technical report describes the system participating to the Detection and Classification of Acoustic Scenes and Events (DCASE) 2020 Challenge, Task 6: automated audio captioning. Our submission focuses on solving two indeterminacy…
Text spotting, a task involving the extraction of textual information from image or video sequences, faces challenges in cross-domain adaption, such as image-to-image and image-to-video generalization. In this paper, we introduce a new…
This document outlines the Text-dependent Speaker Verification (TdSV) Challenge 2024, which centers on analyzing and exploring novel approaches for text-dependent speaker verification. The primary goal of this challenge is to motive…
Generic event boundary detection is an important yet challenging task in video understanding, which aims at detecting the moments where humans naturally perceive event boundaries. The main challenge of this task is perceiving various…
Existing methods for arbitrary-shaped text detection in natural scenes face two critical issues, i.e., 1) fracture detections at the gaps in a text instance; and 2) inaccurate detections of arbitrary-shaped text instances with diverse…
Video-text retrieval has many real-world applications such as media analytics, surveillance, and robotics. This paper presents the 1st place solution to the video retrieval track of the ICCV VALUE Challenge 2021. We present a simple yet…
Most existing scene text detectors focus on detecting characters or words that only capture partial text messages due to missing contextual information. For a better understanding of text in scenes, it is more desired to detect contextual…
This paper presents our work for the ICASSP 2026 Environmental Sound Deepfake Detection (ESDD) Challenge. The challenge is based on the large-scale EnvSDD dataset that consists of various synthetic environmental sounds. We focus on…
Dense event captioning aims to detect and describe all events of interest contained in a video. Despite the advanced development in this area, existing methods tackle this task by making use of dense temporal annotations, which is…
The prevalent scene text detection approach follows four sequential steps comprising character candidate detection, false character candidate removal, text line extraction, and text line verification. However, errors occur and accumulate…
This paper reviews the NTIRE 2020 challenge on real image denoising with focus on the newly introduced dataset, the proposed methods and their results. The challenge is a new version of the previous NTIRE 2019 challenge on real image…
