Enterprise AI Analysis for OFIA: An Object-centric Fine-grained Alignment Enhancement for Video-Text Retrieval
Executive Summary: Object-Centric Fine-grained Alignment for Video-Text Retrieval
This paper introduces OFIA, an Object-centric Fine-grained Alignment Enhancement for Video-Text Retrieval. It addresses limitations of existing fine-grained methods by leveraging a novel Object Extraction Unit (OEU) for precise object-text alignment and a Similarity-wise Frame Aggregation (SIFA) module to emphasize informative frames. OFIA achieves state-of-the-art performance across multiple benchmarks, demonstrating significant improvements in accurately matching videos and texts by focusing on relevant visual details.

Overall Video-Text Similarity Score
| Feature | Baseline (Word-Frame) | OFIA (Object-Centric) |
|---|---|---|
| Granularity | Word-frame level | Object-level, fine-grained |
| Visual Information | Frame embedding | Object embeddings (preserving visual features) |
| Redundancy Handling | Limited | Text-guided selection of relevant objects |
| Informative Frame Weighting | Uniform aggregation | Adaptive (SIFA module) |
3.9%
R@1 Improvement on MSRVTT (ViT-B/16)
OFIA achieves a 3.9% improvement on R@1 for text-to-video retrieval compared to DRL model using ViT-B/16 backbone.
Case Study: Improved Similarity Differentiation
Context: The baseline model often incorrectly yields higher similarity for mismatched video-text pairs. OFIA consistently assigns higher overall similarity scores to matched pairs.
Example: In one instance, the baseline scored [Video (III), Text (IV)] higher than the correct [Video (III), Text (III)]. OFIA's object detector recognized 'Santa Clause' in the correct video frames, leading to a significantly higher similarity for the matched pair, demonstrating effective differentiation even with visually similar content.
| Object Detector | T2V R@1 | V2T R@1 | Strengths |
|---|---|---|---|
| BUTD | 47.1 | 44.8 | Detects thousands of objects, but limited by fixed categories. |
| GLIP | 48.3 | 47.3 | Open-set detection, good generalization. |
| GroundingDINO (OFIA) | 48.6 | 46.6 | State-of-the-art open-set detection, text-guided relevance. |

7 Objects
Optimal Object Number per Frame
Ablation study shows that accuracy improves with more objects up to 7 per frame, then declines due to less relevant inclusions, highlighting the need for optimal object selection.
