• Authors: Jiaying Lin and Huankang Guan and Rynson W.H. Lau
• Abstract summary: Salient Object Ranking (SOR) involves ranking the degree of saliency of multiple salient objects in an input image. Most recently, a method is proposed for ranking salient objects in an input video based on a predicted fixation map. We propose an end-to-end method for video salient object ranking (VSOR), with two novel modules.

• Abstract: Salient Object Ranking (SOR) involves ranking the degree of saliency of multiple salient objects in an input image. Most recently, a method is proposed for ranking salient objects in an input video based on a predicted fixation map. It relies solely on the density of the fixations within the salient objects to infer their saliency ranks, which is incompatible with human perception of saliency ranking. In this work, we propose to explicitly learn the spatial and temporal relations between different salient objects to produce the saliency ranks. To this end, we propose an end-to-end method for video salient object ranking (VSOR), with two novel modules: an intra-frame adaptive relation (IAR) module to learn the spatial relation among the salient objects in the same frame locally and globally, and an inter-frame dynamic relation (IDR) module to model the temporal relation of saliency across different frames. In addition, to address the limited video types (just sports and movies) and scene diversity in the existing VSOR dataset, we propose a new dataset that covers different video types and diverse scenes on a large scale. Experimental results demonstrate that our method outperforms state-of-the-art methods in relevant fields. We will make the source code and our proposed dataset available.

  Visual grounding aims to localize the object referred to in an image based on a natural language query. Existing methods demonstrate a significant performance drop when there are multiple distractions in an image. We propose a novel approach, the Relation and Semantic-sensitive Visual Grounding (ResVG) model, to address this issue.

  Video Visual Relation Detection (VidVRD) focuses on understanding how entities over time and space in videos. Traditional methods for VidVRD, challenged by its complexity, typically split the task into two parts: one for identifying what relation are present and another for determining their temporal boundaries. We propose VrdONE, a streamlined yet efficacious one-stage model for VidVRD.

  unsupervised video domain adaptation methods have been proposed to adapt a predictive model from a labelled dataset to an unlabelled dataset. We address a more realistic scenario, called open-set video domain adaptation (OUVDA), where the target dataset contains "unknown" semantic categories that are not shared with the source. We propose a video-oriented temporal contrastive loss that enables our method to better cluster the feature space by exploiting the freely available temporal information in video data.

  Video Referring Expression (REC) aims to localize the referent objects described in the sentence to visual regions in the video frames. Existing methods suffer from two problems: 1) inconsistent localization results across video frames; 2) confusion between the referent and contextual objects. We propose a novel Dual Correspondence Network (dubbed as DCNet) which explicitly enhances the dense associations in both the inter-frame and cross-modal manners.

  Video recognition is a hot-spot research topic with the explosive growth of multimedia data on the Internet and mobile devices. Most existing methods select the salient frames without awareness of the class-specific saliency scores. We propose a novel Temporal Saliency Query (TSQ) mechanism, which introduces class-specific information to provide fine-grained cues for saliency measurement.

  We propose a video question answering model which effectively integrates multi-modal input sources and finds the temporally relevant information to answer questions. Our model is also comprised of dual-level attention (word/object and frame level), multi-head self-cross-integration for different sources (video and dense captions), and which pass more relevant information to gates. We evaluate our model on the challenging TVQA dataset, where each of our model components provides significant gains, and our overall model outperforms the state-of-the-art by a large margin.
