Solution Overview

Problem

The challenge of accurately locating a video clip based on a natural language description is more complex compared to detecting a static image, necessitating improved methods for video processing.

Innovation Solution

A video processing method that involves obtaining a semantic feature of an input sentence, performing semantic enhancement on video frames to fuse semantic meaning into their features, and determining the target video clip through semantic and video features.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If semantic enhancement is performed on video frames to fuse semantic meaning into video features, then the accuracy of recognizing the target video clip is improved, but the computational complexity and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of recognizing target video clipVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The video processing is divided into discrete temporal segments (video frames) that are processed independently through the semantic enhancement module. Each frame undergoes separate semantic feature fusion with the input sentence, allowing parallel processing and reducing overall computational complexity while maintaining recognition accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The semantic features of the input sentence are extracted and prepared in advance before video frame processing begins. This preliminary action allows the semantic enhancement module to directly fuse pre-computed semantic features with video frame features during processing, reducing real-time computational burden while improving recognition accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If semantic enhancement is performed on video frames to fuse semantic meaning into video features, then the accuracy of recognizing the target video clip is improved, but the processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of recognizing target video clipVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The video is segmented into individual frames that can be processed in parallel through the semantic enhancement module. This frame-level segmentation enables concurrent processing of multiple frames, reducing total processing time while maintaining the accuracy improvements from semantic feature fusion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Semantic feature extraction from the input sentence is performed as a preliminary action before video processing. This pre-computation of semantic features eliminates the need for repeated semantic analysis during frame processing, significantly reducing processing time while preserving the accuracy benefits of semantic enhancement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
