Pocket-STVG: lightweight architecture for Spatio-Temporal Video Grounding

Pocket-STVG (P-STVG) is a lightweight cascade architecture for Spatio-Temporal Video Grounding that combines efficient pre‑trained components: a temporal‑aware video encoder based on MobileViCLIP, a spatial encoder‑decoder from MDETR, and a shared aligned text encoder. Temporal localization is achieved with a lightweight 1D U‑Net or a simple thresholding strategy, allowing the model to work in both weakly supervised and zero‑shot settings. With fewer than 90 M parameters, P-STVG matches or surpasses prior weakly supervised and zero‑shot methods while offering a more memory‑ and compute‑efficient pipeline for large‑scale video collections.
