About this paper

Vasilii Korolkov, Andrey Yanchenko

This paper introduces a visual-only method for automatically detecting intro and credit sequences in video content, utilizing CLIP embeddings processed by a multihead attention mechanism. The approach achieved an F1-score of 91.0% on a custom dataset of 972 video episodes, demonstrating robust performance across diverse video styles and outperforming previous multi-modal and heuristic-based solutions.

Key insights

  • Leveraging CLIP's robust semantic understanding of visual content, combined with multihead attention, enables accurate and generalizable detection of intro and credit sequences solely from visual information.
  • Multihead attention mechanisms are crucial for capturing long-range temporal dependencies within video frames, leading to superior performance in frame-level classification tasks.
  • A visual-only approach is viable and highly effective for intro/credit detection, eliminating the complexities and dependencies of multi-modal systems.
