Researchers from the University of Moratuwa and La Trobe University developed a GenAI-driven pipeline for video summarization that extracts incident and context information based on user-defined queries, leveraging YOLO-V8 for object detection and Google's Gemini Pro Vision and Gemini Pro models. This approach achieved an average textual similarity of 72.8% to ground truth summaries and an 8.5/10 human evaluation score for quality, demonstrating an efficient and customizable analysis tool for extensive video datasets.

Key insights

  • Combining state-of-the-art object detection with advanced multimodal generative AI enables dynamic, user-query-driven video summarization for specific incidents and context.
  • An 'indirect' prompting method, where Gemini Pro Vision first describes all happenings before refinement by Gemini Pro, produces more accurate and less 'creative' (hallucinated) outputs.
  • Processing sequential frames with optimized prompts proves superior for temporal understanding compared to a 'collage approach' of submitting multiple frames simultaneously.
