• Title: Cursive Caption Text Detection in Videos
• Authors: Ali Mirza, Imran Siddiqi
• Abstract summary: This paper presents a robust technique for detection of textual content appearing in video frames. We target text in cursive script taking Urdu text as a case study. Since it is common to have videos with caption text in multiple-scripts, cursive text is distinguished from Latin text using a script-identification module.

• Abstract: Textual content appearing in videos represents an interesting index for semantic retrieval of videos (from archives), generation of alerts (live streams) as well as high level applications like opinion mining and content summarization. One of the key components of such systems is the detection of textual content in video frames and the same makes the subject of our present study. This paper presents a robust technique for detection of textual content appearing in video frames. More specifically we target text in cursive script taking Urdu text as a case study. Detection of textual regions in video frames is carried out by fine-tuning object detectors based on deep convolutional neural networks for the specific case of text detection. Since it is common to have videos with caption text in multiple-scripts, cursive text is distinguished from Latin text using a script-identification module. Finally, detection and script identification are combined in a single end-to-end trainable system. Experiments on a comprehensive dataset of around 11,000 video frames report an F-measure of 0.91.

  We propose a novel Syntax-Hierarchy-Enhanced text-video retrieval method (SHE-Net) First, to facilitate a more fine-grained integration of visual content, we employ the text syntax hierarchy, which reveals the grammatical structure of text descriptions. Second, to further enhance the multi-modal interaction and alignment, we also utilize the syntax hierarchy to guide the similarity calculation.

  Main obstacle for text-video retrieval is the semantic gap between the textual nature of queries and the visual richness of video content. We propose chunk-level text-video matching, where the query chunks are extracted to describe a specific retrieval unit. We formulate the chunk-level matching as n-ary correlations modeling between words of the query and frames of the video.

  This work introduces a novel text-video localization pre-text task to enable fine-grained temporal and semantic alignment. Specifically, text-video localization consists of moment retrieval, which predicts start and end boundaries in videos given the text description. Our method connects the fine-grained frame representations with the word representations and implicitly distinguishes representations of different instances in the single modality.

  In real-world scenarios, online videos are often accompanied by relevant text information such as titles, tags, and even subtitles. We propose a novel approach to text-video retrieval, where we directly generate associated captions from videos using zero-shot video captioning. We conduct comprehensive ablation studies to demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.

  This paper presents contextual text detection, a new setup that detects contextual text blocks (CTBs) for better understanding of texts in scenes. We formulate the new setup by a dual detection task which first detects integral text units and then groups them into a CTB. To this end, we design a novel scene text clustering technique that treats integral text units as tokens and groups them (belonging to the same CTB) into an ordered token sequence.
