This paper proposes an end-to-end deep hashing framework with category mask for fast video retrieval. We train our network in a supervised way by fully exploiting inter-class diversity and intra-class identity. Classification loss is optimized to maximize inter-class diversity, while intra-pair is introduced to learn representative intra-class identity. We investigate the binary bits distribution related to categories and find out that the effectiveness of binary bits is highly related to categories, and certain bits may degrade classification performance of some categories. We then design hash code generation scheme with category mask to filter out bits with negative contribution. Experimental results demonstrate the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-arts under various evaluation metrics on public datasets. We are making our code and models public online.
. Convenient approaches for video hashing usually select frames from a video, treat the selected frames as separate images and then employ image hashing techniques on them @cite_6 @cite_26 @cite_20 @cite_9 @cite_14 @cite_21 . For example, Weng and Preneel proposed to extract feature from each frame and then generate hash code based on the extracted statistical feature vector, while and utilized multiple frame sets and multiple key frames to learn hash functions. proposed a hash learning method via deep belief network, where a fusion of visual-appearance and visual-attention features are used as inputs. All the above methods employed hand-crafted features which were fixed during hash learning process. In @cite_18 , CNN features were extracted to learn hash function. presented an unsupervised video hash learning framework, by using a binary LSTM module and a normal LSTM module as the encoder and the decoder respectively. Frame-level features are extracted via a deep CNN. Still, the feature generation and the hash code generation are processed separately. proposed an integrated framework in which feature extraction, binary code learning and hash function learning are optimized in a self-taught manner. Yet this method doesn't learn binary code and hash function as part of the deep architecture.

Recently, learning based hashing methods have become popular for indexing large-scale media data. Hashing methods map high-dimensional features to compact binary codes that are efficient to match and robust in preserving original similarity. However, most of the existing hashing methods treat videos as a simple aggregation of independent frames and index each video through combining the indexes of frames. The structure information of videos, e.g., discriminative local visual commonality and temporal consistency, is often neglected in the design of hash functions. In this paper, we propose a supervised method that explores the structure learning techniques to design efficient hash functions. The proposed video hashing method formulates a minimization problem over a structure-regularized empirical loss. In particular, the structure regularization exploits the common local visual patterns occurring in video frames that are associated with the same semantic class, and simultaneously preserves the temporal consistency over successive frames from the same video. We show that the minimization objective can be efficiently solved by an Accelerated Proximal Gradient (APG) method. Extensive experiments on two large video benchmark datasets (up to around 150K video clips with over 12 million frames) show that the proposed method significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art hashing methods. In this work, we propose a deep video hashing (DVH) method for scalable video search. Unlike most existing video hashing methods that first extract features for each single frame and then use conventional image hashing techniques, our DVH learns binary codes for the entire video with a deep learning framework so that both the temporal and discriminative information can be well exploited. Specifically, we fuse the temporal information across different frames within each video to learn the feature representation under two criteria: the distance between a feature pair obtained at the top layer is small if they are from the same class, and large if they are from different classes; and the quantization loss between the real-valued features and the binary codes is minimized. We exploit different deep architectures to utilize spatial-temporal information in different manners and compare them with single-frame-based deep models and state-of-the-art image hashing methods. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method. Retrieving faces from large mess of videos is an attractive research topic with wide range of applications. Its challenging problems are large intra-class variations, and tremendous time and space complexity. In this paper, we develop a new deep convolutional neural network (deep CNN) to learn discriminative and compact binary representations of faces for face video retrieval. The network integrates feature extraction and hash learning into a unified optimization framework for the optimal compatibility of feature extractor and hash functions. In order to better initialize the network, the low-rank discriminative binary hashing is proposed to pre-learn hash functions during the training procedure. Our method achieves excellent performances on two challenging TV-Series datasets. Recently, hashing video contents for fast retrieval has received increasing attention due to the enormous growth of online videos. As the extension of image hashing techniques, traditional video hashing methods mainly focus on seeking the appropriate video features but pay little attention to how the video-specific features can be leveraged to achieve optimal binarization. In this paper, an end-to-end hashing framework, namely Unsupervised Deep Video Hashing (UDVH), is proposed, where feature extraction, balanced code learning and hash function learning are integrated and optimized in a self-taught manner. Particularly, distinguished from previous work, our framework enjoys two novelties: 1) an unsupervised hashing method that integrates the feature clustering and feature binarization, enabling the neighborhood structure to be preserved in the binary space; 2) a smart rotation applied to the video-specific features that are widely spread in the low-dimensional space such that the variance of dimensions can be balanced, thus generating more effective hash codes. Extensive experiments have been performed on two real-world datasets and the results demonstrate its superiority, compared to the state-of-the-art video hashing methods. To bootstrap further developments, the source code will be made publically available.
