Abstract

Effective procedure planning in instructional videos requires robust modeling of dynamic step sequences that adapt to contextual variations and diverse execution styles. Current single-modality approaches exhibit complementary limitations: text-based methods struggle to specify spatial relationships and quantitative action parameters, while video-based systems fail to establish task-level semantics and logical step dependencies. To address these challenges, we propose TeViJP, a dual modality framework that integrates textual abstraction with visual demonstration for adaptive workflow planning. Three key innovations in our work have been introduced: 1) A step-semantic aware prompting mechanism using contrastively aligned tokens to dynamically segment procedural phases in long videos, resolving boundary ambiguity under variable step orders; 2) A goal-conditioned hierarchical planner that injects multi scale task semantics through cross-modal attention, reducing error accumulation in long-horizon planning; 3) A Temporal Spatial-Semantic Fusion Transformer (TSSB) ensuring synthe sized previews maintain geometric consistency with historical states while aligning with textual constraints. Comprehensive evaluations across four benchmark datasets demonstrate superior performance, achieving 4.63% accuracy gains in step prediction and halving visual distortion metrics compared to state-of-the-art planning systems.
