Video detection in ReadSeek will be based on a storyboard.

Qwen3-VL-2B processes only images; it does not understand videos. In other words, a video must translated into a meaningful set of images.

A storyboard is a tiled composite image generated from a fixed number of down-scaled video frames. Let’s mark this with N, and further constrain that N>2.

Algorithm:

  1. Use two frames of the frame budget for start and end timestamp frames.
  2. Place the remaining N-2 timestamps initially even distances from each other.
  3. Shift the timestamps within 50% range of their initial distance with some yet to be defined best effort strategy. maximizing the difference between the frames.

Note that timestamps positions form a O(2^N) problem as the timestamps affect each other as a system.

This idea could be taken out of the domain to an imaginary movie studio. What if you wanted back-engineer a storyboard to already shot material? A previous might be lost, or sometimes might not even exist.

Figuring out the answer to this question provides an optimal answer to the problem in my original domai
