| contents | Unsupervised video semantic compression (UVSC), i.e., compressing videos to better support various analysis tasks, has recently garnered attention. However, the semantic richness of previous methods remains limited, due to the single semantic learning objective, limited training data, etc. To address this, we propose to boost the UVSC task by absorbing the off-the-shelf rich semantics from VFMs. Specifically, we introduce a VFMs-shared semantic alignment layer, complemented by VFM-specific prompts, to flexibly align semantics between the compressed video and various VFMs. This allows different VFMs to collaboratively build a mutually-enhanced semantic space, guiding the learning of the compression model. Moreover, we introduce a dynamic trajectory-based inter-frame compression scheme, which first estimates the semantic trajectory based on the historical content, and then traverses along the trajectory to predict the future semantics as the coding context. This reduces the overall bitcost of the system, further improving the compression efficiency. Our approach outperforms previous coding methods on three mainstream tasks and six datasets. |
