Challenges in Video Processing
Breaking down long videos into smaller, meaningful parts for vision models is difficult. Vision models need these smaller parts, called tokens, to understand video data, but creating them efficiently is a challenge. Current tools can compress videos better than older methods but struggle with large datasets and long videos. They often miss the natural similarities between video frames, which affects their efficiency.
Current Limitations
Existing video tokenization methods are costly and ineffective for long sequences. Early methods used image tokenizers but ignored frame continuity, reducing effectiveness. Later approaches improved redundancy and encoding but still required rebuilding entire frames, limiting them to short clips. Video generation models also face similar limitations.
Introducing CoordTok
Researchers from KAIST and UC Berkeley developed CoordTok, a solution that maps coordinate-based representations to video patches. This innovative approach encodes videos into triplane representations and reconstructs patches based on sampled coordinates. It allows for training large models on long videos without excessive resource use, reducing both memory and computational costs while maintaining video quality.
Hierarchical Architecture for Efficiency
CoordTok was enhanced with a hierarchical structure that captures local and global video features. This architecture processes space-time patches more efficiently, making long video processing easier and less resource-intensive. For instance, CoordTok can encode a 128-frame video into just 1280 tokens, compared to 6144 or 8192 tokens needed by other methods.
Performance Improvements
The model’s reconstruction quality improved through fine-tuning, achieving a PSNR of 26.9 while reducing memory usage by up to 50%. This efficiency allows for high-quality video reconstruction without high computational demands.
Future Potential
While CoordTok is effective, it may not handle dynamic videos well. Future improvements could include using multiple content planes or adaptive methods. This research lays the groundwork for scalable video tokenizers, which can enhance understanding and generation of long videos.
