Video Description

The goal of automatic Video Description is to tell a story about events happening in a video. While early Video Description methods produced captions for short clips that were manually segmented to contain a single event of interest, more recently dense video captioning has been proposed to both segment distinct events in time and describe them in a series of coherent sentences. This problem is a generalization of dense image region captioning and has many practical applications, such as generating textual summaries for the visually impaired, or detecting and describing important events in surveillance footage.
