Existing image captioning methods just focus on understanding the relationship between objects or instances in a single image, without exploring the contextual correlation existed among contextual image. In this paper, we propose Dual Graph Convolutional Networks (Dual-GCN) with transformer and curriculum learning for image captioning. In particular, we not only use an object-level GCN to capture the object to object spatial relation within a single image, but also adopt an image-level GCN to capture the feature information provided by similar images. With the well-designed Dual-GCN, we can make the linguistic transformer better understand the relationship between different objects in a single image and make full use of similar images as auxiliary information to generate a reasonable caption description for a single image. Meanwhile, with a cross-review strategy introduced to determine difficulty levels, we adopt curriculum learning as the training strategy to increase the robustness and generalization of our proposed model. We conduct extensive experiments on the large-scale MS COCO dataset, and the experimental results powerfully demonstrate that our proposed method outperforms recent state-of-the-art approaches. It achieves a BLEU-1 score of 82.2 and a BLEU-2 score of 67.6. Our source code is available at {em color{magenta}{url{https://github.com/Unbear430/DGCN-for-image-captioning}}}.

Descriptive region features extracted by object detection networks have played an important role in the recent advancements of image captioning. However, they are still criticized for the lack of contextual information and fine-grained details, which
in contrast are the merits of traditional grid features. In this paper, we introduce a novel Dual-Level Collaborative Transformer (DLCT) network to realize the complementary advantages of the two features. Concretely, in DLCT, these two features are first processed by a novelDual-way Self Attenion (DWSA) to mine their intrinsic properties, where a Comprehensive Relation Attention component is also introduced to embed the geometric information. In addition, we propose a Locality-Constrained Cross Attention module to address the semantic noises caused by the direct fusion of these two features, where a geometric alignment graph is constructed to accurately align and reinforce region and grid features. To validate our model, we conduct extensive experiments on the highly competitive MS-COCO dataset, and achieve new state-of-the-art performance on both local and online test sets, i.e., 133.8% CIDEr-D on Karpathy split and 135.4% CIDEr on the official split.

Automatic captioning of images is a task that combines the challenges of image analysis and text generation. One important aspect in captioning is the notion of attention: How to decide what to describe and in which order. Inspired by the successes i
n text analysis and translation, previous work have proposed the textit{transformer} architecture for image captioning. However, the structure between the textit{semantic units} in images (usually the detected regions from object detection model) and sentences (each single word) is different. Limited work has been done to adapt the transformers internal architecture to images. In this work, we introduce the textbf{textit{image transformer}}, which consists of a modified encoding transformer and an implicit decoding transformer, motivated by the relative spatial relationship between image regions. Our design widen the original transformer layers inner architecture to adapt to the structure of images. With only regions feature as inputs, our model achieves new state-of-the-art performance on both MSCOCO offline and online testing benchmarks.
In this paper, we consider the image captioning task from a new sequence-to-sequence prediction perspective and propose CaPtion TransformeR (CPTR) which takes the sequentialized raw images as the input to Transformer. Compared to the CNN+Transformer
design paradigm, our model can model global context at every encoder layer from the beginning and is totally convolution-free. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model and we surpass the conventional CNN+Transformer methods on the MSCOCO dataset. Besides, we provide detailed visualizations of the self-attention between patches in the encoder and the words-to-patches attention in the decoder thanks to the full Transformer architecture.
Automatic transcription of scene understanding in images and videos is a step towards artificial general intelligence. Image captioning is a nomenclature for describing meaningful information in an image using computer vision techniques. Automated im
age captioning techniques utilize encoder and decoder architecture, where the encoder extracts features from an image and the decoder generates a transcript. In this work, we investigate two unexplored ideas for image captioning using transformers: First, we demonstrate the enforcement of using objects relevance in the surrounding environment. Second, learning an explicit association between labels and language constructs. We propose label-attention Transformer with geometrically coherent objects (LATGeO). The proposed technique acquires a proposal of geometrically coherent objects using a deep neural network (DNN) and generates captions by investigating their relationships using a label-attention module. Object coherence is defined using the localized ratio of the geometrical properties of the proposals. The label-attention module associates the extracted objects classes to the available dictionary using self-attention layers. The experimentation results show that objects relevance in surroundings and binding of their visual feature with their geometrically localized ratios combined with its associated labels help in defining meaningful captions. The proposed framework is tested on the MSCOCO dataset, and a thorough evaluation resulting in overall better quantitative scores pronounces its superiority.
Detecting abnormal activities in real-world surveillance videos is an important yet challenging task as the prior knowledge about video anomalies is usually limited or unavailable. Despite that many approaches have been developed to resolve this prob
lem, few of them can capture the normal spatio-temporal patterns effectively and efficiently. Moreover, existing works seldom explicitly consider the local consistency at frame level and global coherence of temporal dynamics in video sequences. To this end, we propose Convolutional Transformer based Dual Discriminator Generative Adversarial Networks (CT-D2GAN) to perform unsupervised video anomaly detection. Specifically, we first present a convolutional transformer to perform future frame prediction. It contains three key components, i.e., a convolutional encoder to capture the spatial information of the input video clips, a temporal self-attention module to encode the temporal dynamics, and a convolutional decoder to integrate spatio-temporal features and predict the future frame. Next, a dual discriminator based adversarial training procedure, which jointly considers an image discriminator that can maintain the local consistency at frame-level and a video discriminator that can enforce the global coherence of temporal dynamics, is employed to enhance the future frame prediction. Finally, the prediction error is used to identify abnormal video frames. Thoroughly empirical studies on three public video anomaly detection datasets, i.e., UCSD Ped2, CUHK Avenue, and Shanghai Tech Campus, demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed adversarial spatio-temporal modeling framework.
