• Abstract summary: Video grounding aims to localize the temporal segment corresponding to a sentence query from an untrimmed video. We propose a novel end-to-end multi-modal Transformer model, dubbed as bfGTR. Specifically, GTR has two encoders for video and language encoding, and a cross-modal decoder for grounding prediction. All three typical GTR variants achieve record-breaking performance on all datasets and metrics, with several times faster inference speed.

• Abstract: Video grounding aims to localize the temporal segment corresponding to a sentence query from an untrimmed video. Almost all existing video grounding methods fall into two frameworks: 1) Top-down model: It predefines a set of segment candidates and then conducts segment classification and regression. 2) Bottom-up model: It directly predicts frame-wise probabilities of the referential segment boundaries. However, all these methods are not end-to-end, \ie, they always rely on some time-consuming post-processing steps to refine predictions. To this end, we reformulate video grounding as a set prediction task and propose a novel end-to-end multi-modal Transformer model, dubbed as \textbf{GTR}. Specifically, GTR has two encoders for video and language encoding, and a cross-modal decoder for grounding prediction. To facilitate the end-to-end training, we use a Cubic Embedding layer to transform the raw videos into a set of visual tokens. To better fuse these two modalities in the decoder, we design a new Multi-head Cross-Modal Attention. The whole GTR is optimized via a Many-to-One matching loss. Furthermore, we conduct comprehensive studies to investigate different model design choices. Extensive results on three benchmarks have validated the superiority of GTR. All three typical GTR variants achieve record-breaking performance on all datasets and metrics, with several times faster inference speed.

  Text-guided video prediction (TVP) involves predicting the motion of future frames from the initial frame according to an instruction. Previous TVP methods make significant breakthroughs by adapting Stable Diffusion for this task. We introduce the Multi-Modal Large Language Model (MLLM) to predict future video states based on initial frames and text instructions.

  We present a novel model for Tracking Any Point (TAP) that effectively tracks any queried point on any physical surface throughout a video sequence. Our approach employs two stages: (1) a matching stage, which independently locates a suitable candidate point match for the query point on every other frame, and (2) a refinement stage, which updates both the trajectory and query features based on local correlations. The resulting model surpasses all baseline methods by a significant margin on the TAP-Vid benchmark, as demonstrated by an approximate 20% absolute average Jaccard (AJ) improvement on DAVIS.
