• Abstract: Video restoration is a low-level vision task that seeks to restore clean, sharp videos from quality-degraded frames. One would use the temporal information from adjacent frames to make video restoration successful. Recently, the success of the Transformer has raised awareness in the computer-vision community. However, its self-attention mechanism requires much memory, which is unsuitable for high-resolution vision tasks like video restoration. In this paper, we propose ViStripformer (Video Stripformer), which utilizes spatio-temporal strip attention to catch long-range data correlations, consisting of intra-frame strip attention (Intra-SA) and inter-frame strip attention (Inter-SA) for extracting spatial and temporal information. It decomposes video frames into strip-shaped features in horizontal and vertical directions for Intra-SA and Inter-SA to address degradation patterns with various orientations and magnitudes. Besides, ViStripformer is an effective and efficient transformer architecture with much lower memory usage than the vanilla transformer. Extensive experiments show that the proposed model achieves superior results with fast inference time on video restoration tasks, including video deblurring, demoireing, and deraining.

  Video Object (VOS) has emerged as an increasingly important problem with availability of larger datasets and more complex and realistic settings.

  We propose SViTT, a sparse video-text architecture that performs multi-frame reasoning with significantly lower cost than naive transformers with dense attention. SViTT employs two forms of sparsity: edge sparsity that limits the query-key communications between tokens in self-attention, and sparsity that discards uninformative visual tokens.
