This technical report introduces Pegasus-1, a multimodal language model specialized in video content understanding and interaction through natural language. Pegasus-1 is designed to address the unique challenges posed by video data, such as interpreting spatiotemporal information, to offer nuanced video content comprehension across various lengths. This technical report overviews Pegasus-1's architecture, training strategies, and its performance in benchmarks on video conversation, zero-shot video question answering, and video summarization. We also explore qualitative characteristics of Pegasus-1 , demonstrating its capabilities as well as its limitations, in order to provide readers a balanced view of its current state and its future direction.

Thermal cameras show noisy images due to their limited thermal resolution, especially for the scenes of a low temperature difference. In order to deal with a noise problem, this paper proposes a novel neural network architecture with repeatable denoising inception-residual blocks(DnIRB) for noise learning. Each DnIRB has two sub-blocks with difference receptive fields and one shortcut connection to prevent a vanishing gradient problem. The proposed approach is tested for thermal images. The experimental results indicate that the proposed approach shows the best SQNR performance and reasonable processing time compared with state-of-the-art denoising methods.
