VideoRAG is an innovative framework developed by the Department of Data Science at the University of Hong Kong, specifically designed for processing and understanding ultra-long video content. This tool breaks through the technical limitations of traditional video processing and is capable of efficiently processing hundreds of hours of video footage on a single NVIDIA RTX 3090 GPU. Its core technological strength lies in the combination of a graph-driven textual knowledge base and hierarchical multimodal contextual coding, which enables the system to not only understand video content, but also maintain semantic consistency across videos.
The framework adopts a dual-channel architecture design: on the one hand, it structures video content by dynamically constructing a knowledge graph, and on the other hand, it utilizes hierarchical coding to achieve efficient content retrieval. Compared to traditional methods, VideoRAG's biggest breakthrough is its innovative LongerVideos benchmark test, which contains more than 134 hours of diverse video content, verifying the reliability and stability of the system in handling large-scale video data.
VideoRAG's application scenarios include, but are not limited to, massive video content management, educational video knowledge extraction, intelligent retrieval of media materials, and other specialized fields, providing a new technical paradigm for video content understanding.
