TECHNIQUES FOR PROCESSING AND VIEWING VIDEO EVENTS USING EVENT METADATA

摘要

A computing device for processing a video file. The video file comprises an audio track and contains at least one event comprising a scene of interest. One or more audio criteria that characterize the event are used to detect events using the audio track and an offset timestamp is recorded for each detected event. A set of offset timestamps may be produced for a set of detected events of the video file. The set of offset timestamps for the set of detected events may be used to time align and time adjust a set of real timestamps for a set of established events for the same video file. A user interface (UI) is provided that allows quick and easy search and playback of events of interest across multiple video files.

1. A computer-implemented method for detecting events in a video file, the method comprising:
receiving one or more audio criteria that characterize a scene of interest in the video file, wherein the video file includes an audio track; determining that an event is detected at a first point in time associated with the audio track upon determining that the one or more audio criteria are satisfied at the first point in time; and recording an offset timestamp for the event that indicates an amount of time that has elapsed between the beginning of the video file and the first point in time.
