• Authors: Piyush Yadav, Edward Curry
• Abstract summary: Middleware systems such as Complex Event Processing (CEP) mine patterns from data streams and send notifications to users in a timely fashion. Current CEP systems have inherent limitations to query video streams due to their unstructured data model and expressive query language. We propose VidCEP, an in-memory, near real-time complex event matching framework for video streams.

• Abstract: Video data is highly expressive and has traditionally been very difficult for a machine to interpret. Querying event patterns from video streams is challenging due to its unstructured representation. Middleware systems such as Complex Event Processing (CEP) mine patterns from data streams and send notifications to users in a timely fashion. Current CEP systems have inherent limitations to query video streams due to their unstructured data model and lack of expressive query language. In this work, we focus on a CEP framework where users can define high-level expressive queries over videos to detect a range of spatiotemporal event patterns. In this context, we propose: i) VidCEP, an in-memory, on the fly, near real-time complex event matching framework for video streams. The system uses a graph-based event representation for video streams which enables the detection of high-level semantic concepts from video using cascades of Deep Neural Network models, ii) a Video Event Query language (VEQL) to express high-level user queries for video streams in CEP, iii) a complex event matcher to detect spatiotemporal video event patterns by matching expressive user queries over video data. The proposed approach detects spatiotemporal video event patterns with an F-score ranging from 0.66 to 0.89. VidCEP maintains near real-time performance with an average throughput of 70 frames per second for 5 parallel videos with sub-second matching latency.

  Video Corpus Moment Retrieval (VCMR) is a practical video retrieval task focused on identifying a specific moment within a vast corpus of untrimmed videos. Existing methods for VCMR typically rely on frame-aware video retrieval, calculating similarities between the query and video frames to rank videos. We propose EventFormer, a model that explicitly utilizes events within videos as fundamental units for video retrieval.

  Event boundary detection aims to localize the generic, taxonomy-free event boundaries that segment videos into chunks.

We propose a novel event boundary detection method that is fully end-to-end leveraging rich information in the compressed domain.

  Key objective of MR/HD is to localize the moment and estimate clip-wise accordance level, i.e., saliency score, to a given text query. Recent transformer-based models do not fully exploit the information of a given query. We introduce Query-Dependent DETR (QD-DETR), a detection transformer tailored for MR/HD.

  Video corpus moment retrieval (VCMR) is the task to retrieve the most relevant video moment from a large video corpus using a natural language query. We propose a self-supervised learning framework: Modal-specific Pseudo Query Generation Network (MPGN) MPGN generates pseudo queries exploiting both visual and textual information from selected temporal moments. We show that MPGN successfully learns to localize the video corpus moment without any explicit annotation.

  Video corpus moment retrieval (VCMR) is to retrieve a temporal moment that semantically corresponds to a given text query. We propose a Retrieval and Localization Network with Contrastive Learning (ReLoCLNet) for VCMR. Experimental results show that ReLoCLNet encodes text and video separately for efficiency, its retrieval accuracy is comparable with baselines adopting cross-modal interaction learning.
