However, frame selection for long videos remains challenging, as it requires retrieving relevant frames distributed across segments from a large candidate pool given complex queries. This paper investigates dominant approaches to long-video frame selection from a task-decomposition perspective, identifying two key challenges: the Query Comprehension Gap in similarity-based methods and the Interpretation--Selection Gap in judgment-based methods. To address them, we propose RACER, a training-free reflective agentic framework that decomposes long-video frame selection into query interpretation driven by a lightweight Vid-LLM and evidence localization supported by an embedding model serving as a retrieval tool. Specifically, the Vid-LLM is responsible solely for reformulating the complex query into sub-queries that make implicit information requirements explicit, mitigating the Query Comprehension Gap. Meanwhile, the retrieval tool leverages these sub-queries to localize relevant evidence, relieving the Vid-LLM of direct frame selection and thus addressing the Interpretation--Selection Gap. Finally, the retrieved frames are fed back to the Vid-LLM for sub-query refinement, forming a reflection loop that iteratively improves query interpretation and frame selection. Experiments across multiple benchmarks show that RACER consistently improves long video understanding. Notably, RACER achieves effective frame selection even with limited-capability components, demonstrating that agentic integration enables these components to enhance more capable Vid-LLMs. Subjects: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV); Artificial Intelligence (cs.AI) Cite as: arXiv:2610.08954 [cs.CV] (or arXiv:2610.08954v1 [cs.CV] for this version) https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2610.08954 arXiv-issued DOI via DataCite (pending registration) Submission history From: Yiyang Huang [view email] [v1] Tue, 6 Oct 2026 18:21:13 UTC (18,646 KB) Full-text links: Access Paper: View a PDF of the paper titled RACER: Reflective Agent Coupling Query Interpretation and Tool-Based Retrieval for Frame Selection in Long Video Understanding, by Yiyang Huang and 8 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) TeX Source view license Additional Features Audio Summary Current browse context: cs.CV new | recent | 2026-10 Change to browse by: cs cs.AI References & Citations NASA ADS Google Scholar Semantic Scholar Loading...
