Driven by multimodal large language models (MLLMs), significant advancements have been made in tasks related to images and videos, including visual question answering, narrative generation, and interactive editing. However, achieving fine-grained understanding of video content still poses major challenges. These challenges involve tasks such as pixel-level segmentation, tracking with language descriptions, and visual question answering based on specific video prompts. Although current state-of-the-art video perception models excel in segmentation and tracking tasks, they still fall short in open language understanding and conversational capabilities.

Recently, the Meta AI team introduced LongVU, a novel spatio-temporal adaptive compression mechanism aimed at enhancing the language understanding capabilities of long videos. Traditional multimodal large language models (MLLMs) face limitations in context length when processing long videos, and LongVU was created to address this challenge. LongVU operates primarily by filtering duplicate frames and employing inter-frame token compression techniques to efficiently utilize context length, allowing it to reduce video data while preserving visual details.
