Video captioning refers to the process of extracting features from a video and generating video captions using the extracted features. This paper introduces a deep neural network model and its learning method for effective video captioning. In this study, visual features as well as semantic features, which effectively express the video, are also used. The visual features of the video are extracted using convolutional neural networks, such as C3D and ResNet, while the semantic features are extracted using a semantic feature extraction network proposed in this paper. Further, an attention-based caption generation network is proposed for effective generation of video captions using the extracted features. The performance and effectiveness of the proposed model is verified through various experiments using two large-scale video benchmarks such as the Microsoft Video Description (MSVD) and the Microsoft Research Video-To-Text (MSR-VTT).

In this paper, we propose a method that performs a text-video retrieval model by replacing video properties using captions. In general, the exisiting embedding-based models consist of both joint embedding space construction and the CNN-based video encoding process, which requires a lot of computation in the training as well as the inference process. To overcome this problem, we introduce a video-captioning module to replace the visual property of video with captions generated by the video-captioning module. To be specific, we adopt the caption generator that converts candidate videos into captions in the inference process, thereby enabling direct comparison between the text given as a query and candidate videos without joint embedding space. Through the experiment, the proposed model successfully reduces the amount of computation and inference time by skipping the visual processing process and joint embedding space construction on two benchmark dataset, MSR-VTT and VATEX.

Video captioning technology, as a significant outcome of the integration between computer vision and natural language processing, has emerged as a key research direction in the field of artificial intelligence. This technology aims to achieve automatic understanding and language expression of video content, enabling computers to transform visual information in videos into textual form. This paper provides an initial analysis of the research trends in deep learning-based video captioning and categorizes them into four main groups: CNN-RNN-based Model, RNN-RNN-based Model, Multimodal-based Model, and Transformer-based Model, and explain the concept of each video captioning model. The features, pros and cons were discussed. This paper lists commonly used datasets and performance evaluation methods in the video captioning field. The dataset encompasses diverse domains and scenarios, offering extensive resources for the training and validation of video captioning models. The model performance evaluation method mentions major evaluation indicators and provides practical references for researchers to evaluate model performance from various angles. Finally, as future research tasks for video captioning, there are major challenges that need to be continuously improved, such as maintaining temporal consistency and accurate description of dynamic scenes, which increase the complexity in real-world applications, and new tasks that need to be studied are presented such as temporal relationship modeling and multimodal data integration.

본 논문에서는 트랜스포머를 사용한 이미지 캡셔닝 방법과 비디오 캡셔닝 방법을 제안한다. 트랜스포머의 입력으로 사전 학습된 이미지 클래스 분류모델을 거쳐 추출된 특징을 트랜스포머의 입력으로 넣고 인코더-디코더를 통해 이미지와 비디오의 캡션을 출력한다. 이미지 캡셔닝의 경우 한글 데이터 세트를 학습하여 한글 캡션을 출력하도록 학습하였으며 비디오 캡셔닝의 경우 MSVD 데이터 세트를 학습하여 학습 후 출력 캡션의 성능을 다른 비디오 캡셔닝 모델의 성능과 비교하였다. 비디오 캡셔닝에서 성능향상을 위해 트랜스포머의 디코더를 변형한 GPT-2를 사용하였을 때 BLEU-1 점수가 트랜스포머의 경우 0.62, GPT-2의 경우 0.80으로 성능이 향상됨을 확인하였다

This paper presents a scheme that generates a caption file by extracting a Closed Caption stream from DTV signal. Note that Closed-Captioning service helps to bridge "digital divide" through extending broadcasting accessibility of a neglected class such as hearing-impaired person and foreigner. In Korea, DTV Closed Captioning standard was developed in June 2007, and Closed Captioning service should be supported by an enforcing law in all broadcasting services in 2008. In this paper, we describe the method of extracting a caption data from MPEG-2 Transport Stream of ATSC-based digital TV signal and generating a caption file (SAMI and SRT) using the extracted caption data and time information. Experimental results verify the feasibility of a generated caption file using a PC-based media player which is widely used in multimedia service.

With the recent increase in the number of households raising pets, various engineering studies have been underway for pets. The final purpose of this study is to automatically generate situation-sensitive captions that can express implicit intentions based on the behavior and sound of cats by embedding the already mature behavioral detection technology of pets as basic element technology in the video capturing research. As a pilot project to this end, this paper proposes a high-level capturing system using optical-flow, RGB, and sound information of cat videos. That is, the proposed system uses video datasets collected in an actual breeding environment to extract feature vectors from the video and sound, then through hierarchical LSTM encoder and decoder, to identify the cat's behavior and its implicit intentions, and to perform learning to create context-sensitive captions. The performance of the proposed system was verified experimentally by utilizing video data collected in the environment where actual cats are raised.

Foreign countries have been used closed captioning for people with hearing loss. Recently some TV programs in Korea also have started to use it. Closed captioned films and video tapes of foreign countries are especially useful for people who want to learn foreign languages as an effective educational tool. In this paper, we propose a method of implementing captioning functionality to an existing streaming software. In addition we added repetitive and group selection of video segments for the new interface of our prototype system. We keep adding additional data and extending functions of our prototype system.

For effective human-robot interaction, robots need to understand the current situation context well, but also the robots need to transfer its understanding to the human participant in efficient way. The most convenient way to deliver robot's understanding to the human participant is that the robot expresses its understanding using voice and natural language. Recently, the artificial intelligence for video understanding and natural language process has been developed very rapidly especially based on deep learning. Thus, this paper proposes robot vision to audio description method using deep learning. The applied deep learning model is a pipeline of two deep learning models for generating natural language sentence from robot vision and generating voice from the generated natural language sentence. Also, we conduct the real robot experiment to show the effectiveness of our method in human-robot interaction.

The prompt development in the field of video is the outbreak of online services which replaces the television media within a shorter period in gaining popularity. The online videos are encouraged more in use due to the captions displayed along with the scenes for better understandability. Not only entertainment media but other marketing companies and organizations are utilizing videos along with captions for their product promotions. The need for captions is enabled for its usage in many ways for hearing impaired and non-native people. Research is continued in an automatic display of the appropriate messages for the videos uploaded in shows, movies, educational videos, online classes, websites, etc. This paper focuses on two concerns namely the first part dealing with the machine learning method for preprocessing the videos into frames and resizing, the resized frames are classified into multiple actions after feature extraction. For the feature extraction statistical method, GLCM and Hu moments are used. The second part deals with the deep learning method where the CNN architecture is used to acquire the results. Finally both the results are compared to find the best accuracy where CNN proves to give top accuracy of 96.10% in classification.
