VideoTemp-o3: Harmonizing Temporal Grounding and Video Understanding in Agentic Thinking-with-Videos

arXiv:2602.07801v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In long-video understanding, conventional uniform frame sampling often fails to capture key visual evidence, leading to degraded performance and increased hallucinations. To address this, recent agentic thinking-with-videos paradigms have emerged, adopting a localize-clip-answer pipeline in which the model actively identifies relevant video segments, performs dense sampling within those clips, and then produces answers. However, existing methods remain inefficient, suffer from weak localization, and adhere to rigid workflows. To solve t
The proliferation of long-form video content and the increasing sophistication of AI models are driving the need for more efficient and accurate video understanding solutions.
Improved video understanding, especially in long-form content, unlocks new applications for AI agents and enhances their ability to process and act upon complex visual information.
Traditional uniform frame sampling for video understanding is being supplanted by more intelligent, agentic approaches that localize key segments for deeper analysis.
