Elephant in the Fridge: Constant-Memory Frame Packing for Long Video Understanding
Shuo Gao, Chenhao Zheng, Zhongzheng Ren.
## What does this repo contain?
This repo contains:
- **Offline CLIP scores**: Relevance between each frame and text query, calculated by CLIP-ViT-B/32.
- **Offline frame feature**: Visual feature extracted by CLIP-ViT.
## How to use it?
To avoid massive online calculating, you can download these data and put these offline scores and feature in the `local/` directory of the repo, or download wherever you want and link them to this directory.
Unzip the `clip_scores.zip` and `frame_feature.zip` file by this script:
```
unzip /path/to/clip_scores.zip
unzip /path/to/frame_feature.zip
```
Now you can run the evaluation on LongVideoBench, MLVU and VideoMME with their pre-calculated frame feature.
