pytorch implementation of video captioning

recommend installing pytorch and python packages using Anaconda

This code is based on video-caption.pytorch

requirements (my environment, other versions of pytorch and torchvision should also support this code (not been verified!))

  • cuda
  • pytorch 1.7.1
  • torchvision 0.8.2
  • python 3
  • ffmpeg (can install using anaconda)

python packages

  • tqdm
  • pillow
  • nltk

Data

MSR-VTT. Download and put them in ./data/msr-vtt-data directory

|-data
  |-msr-vtt-data
    |-train-video
    |-test-video
    |-annotations
      |-train_val_videodatainfo.json
      |-test_videodatainfo.json

MSVD. Download and put them in ./data/msvd-data directory

|-data
  |-msvd-data
    |-YouTubeClips
    |-annotations
      |-AllVideoDescriptions.txt

Options

all default options are defined in opt.py or corresponding code file, change them for your like.

Acknowledgements

Usage

(Optional) c3d features (not verified)

you can use video-classification-3d-cnn-pytorch to extract features from video.

Steps

  1. preprocess MSVD annotations (convert txt file to json file)

refer to data/msvd-data/annotations/prepro_annotations.ipynb

  1. preprocess videos and labels
# For MSR-VTT dataset
# Train and Validata set
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python prepro_feats.py \
    --video_path ./data/msr-vtt-data/train-video \
    --video_suffix mp4 \
    --output_dir ./data/msr-vtt-data/resnet152 \
    --model resnet152 \
    --n_frame_steps 40

# Test set
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python prepro_feats.py \
    --video_path ./data/msr-vtt-data/test-video \
    --video_suffix mp4 \
    --output_dir ./data/msr-vtt-data/resnet152 \
    --model resnet152 \
    --n_frame_steps 40

python prepro_vocab.py \
    --input_json data/msr-vtt-data/annotations/train_val_videodatainfo.json data/msr-vtt-data/annotations/test_videodatainfo.json \
    --info_json data/msr-vtt-data/info.json \
    --caption_json data/msr-vtt-data/caption.json \
    --word_count_threshold 4

# For MSVD dataset
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python prepro_feats.py \
    --video_path ./data/msvd-data/YouTubeClips \
    --video_suffix avi \
    --output_dir ./data/msvd-data/resnet152 \
    --model resnet152 \
    --n_frame_steps 40

python prepro_vocab.py \
    --input_json data/msvd-data/annotations/MSVD_annotations.json \
    --info_json data/msvd-data/info.json \
    --caption_json data/msvd-data/caption.json \
    --word_count_threshold 2
  1. Training a model
# For MSR-VTT dataset
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python train.py \
    --epochs 1000 \
    --batch_size 300 \
    --checkpoint_path data/msr-vtt-data/save \
    --input_json data/msr-vtt-data/annotations/train_val_videodatainfo.json \
    --info_json data/msr-vtt-data/info.json \
    --caption_json data/msr-vtt-data/caption.json \
    --feats_dir data/msr-vtt-data/resnet152 \
    --model S2VTAttModel \
    --with_c3d 0 \
    --dim_vid 2048

# For MSVD dataset
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python train.py \
    --epochs 1000 \
    --batch_size 300 \
    --checkpoint_path data/msvd-data/save \
    --input_json data/msvd-data/annotations/train_val_videodatainfo.json \
    --info_json data/msvd-data/info.json \
    --caption_json data/msvd-data/caption.json \
    --feats_dir data/msvd-data/resnet152 \
    --model S2VTAttModel \
    --with_c3d 0 \
    --dim_vid 2048
  1. test

    opt_info.json will be in same directory as saved model.

# For MSR-VTT dataset
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python eval.py \
    --input_json data/msr-vtt-data/annotations/test_videodatainfo.json \
    --recover_opt data/msr-vtt-data/save/opt_info.json \
    --saved_model data/msr-vtt-data/save/model_xxx.pth \
    --batch_size 100

# For MSVD dataset
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python eval.py \
    --input_json data/msvd-data/annotations/test_videodatainfo.json \
    --recover_opt data/msvd-data/save/opt_info.json \
    --saved_model data/msvd-data/save/model_xxx.pth \
    --batch_size 100

NOTE

This code is just a simple implementation of video captioning. And I have not verify whether the SCST training process and C3D feature are useful!
