CLIP4Clip: An Empirical Study of CLIP for End to End Video Clip Retrieval

(July 28, 2021) Add ViT-B/16 with an extra --pretrained_clip_name

(Apr. 22, 2021) First version

The implementation of paper CLIP4Clip: An Empirical Study of CLIP for End to End Video Clip Retrieval.

CLIP4Clip is a video-text retrieval model based on CLIP (ViT-B). We investigate three similarity calculation approaches: parameter-free type, sequential type, and tight type, in this work. The model achieve SOTA results on MSR-VTT, MSVD, LSMDC, ActivityNet, and DiDeMo.

Requirement

# From CLIP
conda install --yes -c pytorch pytorch=1.7.1 torchvision cudatoolkit=11.0
pip install ftfy regex tqdm
pip install opencv-python boto3 requests pandas

Data Preparing

For MSRVTT

The official data and video links can be found in link.

For the convenience, you can also download the splits and captions by,

wget https://github.com/ArrowLuo/CLIP4Clip/releases/download/v0.0/msrvtt_data.zip

Besides, the raw videos can be found in sharing from Frozen️ in Time, i.e.,

wget https://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~maxbain/frozen-in-time/data/MSRVTT.zip

For MSVD

Raw videos can be download from link.

The splits and raw_captions can be found in the wonderful job collaborative-experts. For the convenience, you can also download them by,

wget https://github.com/ArrowLuo/CLIP4Clip/releases/download/v0.0/msvd_data.zip

For LSMDC

You must obtain permission from MPII to download and use the data. The download link is here. The 1000 test clips data is link. Read our paper and the dataloader for more information.

For ActivityNet

The official websit has made the full dataset available on Google and Baidu drives, see more information at here . The splits can be found in the job collaborative-experts.

For DiDeMo

Raw videos can be download from LisaAnne/LocalizingMoments. The splits can be found in the job collaborative-experts.

Compress Video for Speed-up (optional)

python preprocess/compress_video.py --input_root [raw_video_path] --output_root [compressed_video_path]

This script will compress the video to 3fps with width 224 (or height 224). Modify the variables for your customization.

How to Run

--features_path is the video root path

--linear_patch can be set with 2d or 3d

--sim_header can be set with meanP, seqLSTM, seqTransf, or tightTransf

--pretrained_clip_name can be set with ViT-B/32 or ViT-B/16

--resume_model can be used to reload the saved optimizer state to continuely train the model, Note: need to set the corresponding chechpoint via --init_model simultaneously.

read our paper for more details on --linear_patch and --sim_header. Test more hyperparameters for better performance.

Download CLIP (ViT-B/32) weight,

wget -P ./modules https://openaipublic.azureedge.net/clip/models/40d365715913c9da98579312b702a82c18be219cc2a73407c4526f58eba950af/ViT-B-32.pt

or, download CLIP (ViT-B/16) weight,

wget -P ./modules https://openaipublic.azureedge.net/clip/models/5806e77cd80f8b59890b7e101eabd078d9fb84e6937f9e85e4ecb61988df416f/ViT-B-16.pt

Then, run

The CLIP (ViT-B/32) is the default setting in the paper, replacing with the ViT-B/16 for better performance.
