With the development of electronic technology, intelligent cars can gradually realize more complex artificial intelligence algorithms. The video caption algorithm is one of them. However, current video caption algorithms only consider single-visual information when applied to urban traffic scenes, which leads to the failure to generate accurate captions of complex sets. The multimodal fusion algorithm based on Transformer is one of the solutions to this problem. However, the existing algorithms have the difficulties of a low fusion performance and high computational complexity. We propose a new video caption Transformer-based model, the MFVC (Multimodal Fusion for Video Caption), to solve these issues. We introduce audio modal data and the attention bottleneck module to increase the available information to describe the generative model and improve the model effect with less operation costs through the attention bottleneck module. Finally, the experiment is conducted on the available datasets, MSR-VTT and MSVD. Meanwhile, to verify the effect of the model on the urban traffic scene, the experiment is carried out on the self-built traffic caption dataset BUUISE, and the evaluation index confirms the model. This model can achieve good results on both available datasets and urban traffic datasets and has excellent application prospects in the intelligent driving industry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
