The proposed approach detects the topic-caption frames, and integrates them with silence clips detection results, as well as shot segmentation results to locate the news story boundaries. The integration of audio-visual features and text information overcomes the weakness of the approach using only image analysis techniques. On test data with 135 400 frames, when the boundaries between news stories are detected, the accuracy rate 85.8% and the recall rate 97.5% are obtained. The experimental results show the approach is valid and robust.展开更多

Effective video frame sampling plays a crucial role in improving retrieval performance, as it determines the quality of the visual content representation. Traditional sampling methods, such as uniform sampling and optical flow-based techniques, often fail to capture the full semantic range of videos, leading to redundancy and inefficiencies. In this work, we propose CLIP4Video-Sampling: Global Semantics-Guided Multi-Granularity Frame Sampling for Video-Text Retrieval, a global semantics-guided multi-granularity frame sampling strategy designed to optimize both computational efficiency and retrieval accuracy. By integrating multi-scale global and local temporal sampling and leveraging the CLIP (Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training) model’s powerful feature extraction capabilities, our method significantly outperforms existing approaches in both zero-shot and fine-tuned video-text retrieval tasks on popular datasets. CLIP4Video-Sampling reduces redundancy, ensures keyframe coverage, and serves as an adaptable pre-processing module for multimodal models.展开更多
