Video Description

25 papers with code • 0 benchmarks • 7 datasets

The goal of automatic Video Description is to tell a story about events happening in a video. While early Video Description methods produced captions for short clips that were manually segmented to contain a single event of interest, more recently dense video captioning has been proposed to both segment distinct events in time and describe them in a series of coherent sentences. This problem is a generalization of dense image region captioning and has many practical applications, such as generating textual summaries for the visually impaired, or detecting and describing important events in surveillance footage.

Describing Videos by Exploiting Temporal Structure

yaoli/arctic-capgen-vid ICCV 2015

In this context, we propose an approach that successfully takes into account both the local and global temporal structure of videos to produce descriptions.

Our dataset, ActivityNet-Entities, augments the challenging ActivityNet Captions dataset with 158k bounding box annotations, each grounding a noun phrase.

VATEX: A Large-Scale, High-Quality Multilingual Dataset for Video-and-Language Research

eric-xw/Video-guided-Machine-Translation ICCV 2019

We also introduce two tasks for video-and-language research based on VATEX: (1) Multilingual Video Captioning, aimed at describing a video in various languages with a compact unified captioning model, and (2) Video-guided Machine Translation, to translate a source language description into the target language using the video information as additional spatiotemporal context.

Using Descriptive Video Services to Create a Large Data Source for Video Annotation Research

DVS is an audio narration describing the visual elements and actions in a movie for the visually impaired.

TGIF: A New Dataset and Benchmark on Animated GIF Description

raingo/TGIF-Release CVPR 2016

The motivation for this work is to develop a testbed for image sequence description systems, where the task is to generate natural language descriptions for animated GIFs or video clips.

Video Description using Bidirectional Recurrent Neural Networks

lvapeab/ABiViRNet 12 Apr 2016

Although traditionally used in the machine translation field, the encoder-decoder framework has been recently applied for the generation of video and image descriptions.

A Mid-level Video Representation based on Binary Descriptors: A Case Study for Pornography Detection

jackaduma/nude-detect 12 May 2016

Although these approaches provide good results, they generally have the disadvantage of a high false positive rate since not all images with large areas of skin exposure are necessarily pornographic images, such as people wearing swimsuits or images related to sports.
