You Can Ground Earlier than See: An Effective and Efficient Pipeline for Temporal Sentence Grounding in Compressed Videos
Researchers have developed new methods for temporal sentence grounding (TSG), a task that involves locating specific moments in videos based on textual queries. One approach, the Three-branch Compressed-domain Spatial-temporal Fusion (TCSF) framework, processes videos directly from their compressed format, extracting features from I-frames, motion vectors, and residual data for efficient and accurate grounding. Another method, the Hierarchical Local-Global Transformer (HLGT), addresses the granularity of video frames and query words by modeling local context and global correlations. A novel Multi-Pair TSG setting is also introduced, which co-trains multiple video-query pairs to improve understanding and generalization, utilizing knowledge transfer networks and prototype alignment strategies.
