New SVMemAgent enables query-agnostic online frame selection for video streams

Researchers have developed SVMemAgent, a novel system designed for online frame selection in streaming video. Unlike traditional methods that require full video access and pre-defined queries, SVMemAgent operates in real-time, continuously updating a compact memory of previously observed content. This agent decides whether to retain or discard incoming frames, trained using Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) with rewards derived from diverse question-answer pairs to ensure it selects generally informative frames. AI

IMPACT This research could improve the efficiency of processing streaming video data for tasks like VideoQA by enabling real-time, query-agnostic frame selection.

    SVMemAgent: A Streaming Video Memory Agent for Query-Agnostic Online Frame Selection

    arXiv:2609.18540v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Most keyframe selection studies focus on offline settings, assuming access to the full video and query in advance. In contrast, real-world streaming scenarios require online frame selection under unknown video duration, without acce…
