2 信息抽取方法

在PaddleNLP为我们提供的各类解决方案中，面对领域多变、任务多样、数据稀缺的挑战，UIE具有较强的适应性。其中，uie-x-base模型面向纯文本和文档场景的抽取式模型，支持中英文的文档/图片/表格的端到端信息抽取。

比如下面这个视频，如果我们将其内容进行抽帧，得到的一系列的图片直接送入**uie-x-base** 模型中进行信息抽取，由于视频中传输的知识结构清晰，模型对 某一步具体是什么内容这里的问题，能较为准确地给出反馈结果。

上面视频问答的标准答案为：

Q: What is the third step?

A: safety check

In [ ]

# 删除多余图片
!rm *.jpg

我们把上面这个过程简单梳理下，主要包括下面几个步骤：

1. 定义要抽取的schema——直接把问题作为信息抽取的内容
2. 视频抽帧，保存图片到本地
3. 送入UIE模型进行信息抽取
4. 逐帧比较抽取结果，剔除重复、不正确结果
5. 保存并输出正确结果以及对应图片（便于用户进行核对确认）

下面，我们就将这个思路写成一个视频问答处理函数，并验证效果。

In [50]

def get_video_info(video_path, question):# 定义实体关系抽取的schemaschema = [question]ie = Taskflow("information_extraction", schema=schema, model="uie-x-base", ocr_lang="en", schema_lang="en")src_video = cv2.VideoCapture(video_path)fps = int(src_video.get(cv2.CAP_PROP_FPS))total_frame = int(src_video.get(cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_COUNT)) # 计算视频总帧数prob = 0output = ''pre_frame = 10for i in tqdm(range(total_frame)):    success, frame = src_video.read()# 记录保存的前一个最优结果图片if i % (fps) == 10:if success:cv2.imwrite(str(i) + '.jpg', frame)result = ie({"doc": str(i) + '.jpg'})if len(result[0]) > 0:if result[0][schema[0]][0]['probability'] >  prob:if os.path.exists(str(pre_frame) + '.jpg'):os.remove(str(pre_frame) + '.jpg')prob = result[0][schema[0]][0]['probability']output = result[0][schema[0]][0]['text']pprint(result[0][schema[0]][0])pre_frame = ielse: os.remove(str(i) + '.jpg')elif i!=10:os.remove(str(i) + '.jpg')return output

我们观察video03-clip.mp4这个视频的问答抽取结果，可以发现虽然识别结果是正确的，但是直接输出的OCR识别结果后续还需要进行文本矫正。

3 ERNIE-Layout方法

ERNIE-Layout是依托PaddleNLP对外开源业界最强的多语言跨模态文档预训练模型。ERNIE-Layout以文心文本大模型ERNIE为底座，融合了文本、图像、布局等信息进行跨模态联合建模，创新性引入布局知识增强，提出阅读顺序预测、细粒度图文匹配等自监督预训练任务，升级空间解偶注意力机制，在各数据集上效果取得大幅度提升。

ERNIE-Layout同样可以使用Taskflow一键调用。

虽然在video01-clip.mp4和video03-clip.mp4两个视频的问答结果上，ERNIE-Layout和信息抽取结果大同小于，甚至video03-clip.mp4的问答结果离标准答案还有一点点缺漏，但是读者可以比较下面video02-clip.mp4和video07-clip.mp4的问答结果，会发现ERNIE-Layout在真正的上下文理解上，明显要更强一些。

4 字幕抽取的特殊处理

有的视频是带字幕的，而且问答内容只在字幕中，视频其它位置的文字反而会形成严重干扰，这时候在读取图片的时候限定字幕范围，可以很好地提升问答结果的准确程度。

In [79]

def get_docprompt_v2(video_path, question):# 定义实体关系抽取的schemaschema = [question]ie = Taskflow("document_intelligence", lang='en')src_video = cv2.VideoCapture(video_path)fps = int(src_video.get(cv2.CAP_PROP_FPS))total_frame = int(src_video.get(cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_COUNT)) # 计算视频总帧数prob = 0output = ''pre_frame = 10for i in tqdm(range(total_frame)):    success, frame = src_video.read()# 记录保存的前一个最优结果图片if i % (fps) == 10:if success:# 限定范围只抽取字幕cv2.imwrite(str(i) + '.jpg', frame[-180:-30:])result = ie([{"doc": str(i)+".jpg", "prompt": schema}])if len(result[0]) > 0:if result[0]['result'][0]['prob'] >  prob:if os.path.exists(str(pre_frame) + '.jpg'):os.remove(str(pre_frame) + '.jpg')prob = result[0]['result'][0]['prob']output = result[0]['result'][0]['value']pprint(result[0]['result'][0])pre_frame = ielse: os.remove(str(i) + '.jpg')elif i!=10:os.remove(str(i) + '.jpg')return output

5 需要结合时序的视频问答

还有一种更加复杂的情况，就是要结合出现文字/字幕的时序信息进行问答。

In [ ]

# 显示要进行问答的视频
Video('video05-clip.mp4')

Q: What is the first step to do a fast healing?

A: Clean the cut or scrape.

比如上面这个视频，问答内容与是fast healing的处理步骤，但是视频帧里，步骤只有文字，而不像第一个视频一样有1、2、3、4……，这时候用文档抽取或ERNIE-Layout就傻眼了，因为对着一张图片怎么也回答不出来。此时，就需要把读取到的文字都拼接起来，得到时序相关的文字信息。

In [ ]

ocr = PaddleOCR(use_angle_cls=False, lang="en")
similarity = Taskflow(task="text_similarity", mode="fast", max_seq_len=16, lang="en")

In [182]

src_video = cv2.VideoCapture('video05-clip.mp4')
fps = int(src_video.get(cv2.CAP_PROP_FPS))
total_frame = int(src_video.get(cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_COUNT)) # 计算视频总帧数save_text0 = []
for i in tqdm(range(total_frame)):    success, frame = src_video.read()if i % (fps) == 10:line_text = []if success:# 排除干扰信息，只抽取部分画面result = ocr.ocr(frame[30:180:], cls=True)for idx in range(len(result)):res = result[idx]for line in res:if len(line[1][0]) > 1:line_text.append(line[1][0])line_res = ' '.join(line_text)save_text0.append(line_res)

In [177]

save_text = []
for i in save_text0:if i != '':save_text.append(i)

In [178]

# 结果去重
final_text =list(set(save_text))
final_text.sort(key=save_text.index)

In [179]

final_text = ','.join(final_text)

In [180]

final_text

'3 Steps to Fast Healing,Clean the cut or scrape,Treat the Wound with a topical antibiotic,Cover the cut or scrape'

完成上述工作后，看着final_text这段文字，总算可以进行问答了。不过，直接用信息抽取的预训练模型还是得不到结果，我们可以稍微调整下，增加关键词。等到后面赛题后续训练集公布后，重新微调训练模型，识别效果必然会提升不少。
