用动态帧提示增强视频理解中的时空特征提取
DynImg: Key Frames with Visual Prompts are Good Representation for Multi-Modal Video Understanding
- 引入非关键帧作为时序提示,聚焦快速运动区域
- 在多个基准上提升约2%的视频理解准确率
- 适合需要精细时空建模的多模态视频任务
近年来,多模态大语言模型(MLLMs)在视频理解任务中应用日益广泛。然而,如何有效整合时序信息仍是关键研究方向。传统方法将空间与时序信息分开处理,由于运动模糊等问题,难以准确表示快速运动物体的空间信息,导致重要时序区域在空间特征提取中被弱化,进而影响时空交互与视频理解。为此,我们提出一种名为动态图像(DynImg)的创新视频表征方法。具体而言,引入一组非关键帧作为时序提示,以突出包含快速运动物体的空间区域;在视觉特征提取过程中,这些提示引导模型重点关注对应区域的细粒度空间特征。此外,为保持DynImg的正确时序顺序,采用对应的4D视频旋转位置编码,保留了动态图像的时空邻近性,帮助MLLM理解该联合格式内的时空顺序。实验表明,DynImg在多个视频理解基准上相较现有最佳方法提升约2%,验证了时序提示在增强视频理解方面的有效性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In recent years, the introduction of Multi-modal Large Language Models (MLLMs) into video understanding tasks has become increasingly prevalent. However, how to effectively integrate temporal information remains a critical research focus. Traditional approaches treat spatial and temporal information separately. Due to issues like motion blur, it is challenging to accurately represent the spatial information of rapidly moving objects. This can lead to temporally important regions being underemphasized during spatial feature extraction, which in turn hinders accurate spatio-temporal interaction and video understanding. To address this limitation, we propose an innovative video representation method called Dynamic-Image (DynImg). Specifically, we introduce a set of non-key frames as temporal prompts to highlight the spatial areas containing fast-moving objects. During the process of visual feature extraction, these prompts guide the model to pay additional attention to the fine-grained spatial features corresponding to these regions. Moreover, to maintain the correct sequence for DynImg, we employ a corresponding 4D video Rotary Position Embedding. This retains both the temporal and spatial adjacency of DynImg, helping MLLM understand the spatio-temporal order within this combined format. Experimental evaluations reveal that DynImg surpasses the state-of-the-art methods by approximately 2% across multiple video understanding benchmarks, proving the effectiveness of our temporal prompts in enhancing video comprehension.
