Calibration and annotation of video content

摘要

Various embodiments provide techniques for calibrating and annotating video content. In one or more embodiments, an instance of video content can be calibrated with one or more geographical models and/or existing calibrated video content to correlate the instance of video content with one or more geographical locations. According to some embodiments, geographical information can be used to annotate the video content. Geographical information can include identification information for one or more structures, natural features, and/or locations included in the video content. Some embodiments enable a particular instance of video content to be correlated with other instances of video content based on common geographical information and/or common annotation information. Thus, a user can access video content from other users with similar travel experiences and/or interests. A user may also access annotations provided by other users that may be relevant to a particular instance of video content.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving, with a computing device, an instance of video content that includes position information; determining one or more locations associated with the instance of video content; correlating the instance of video content with a different instance of video content based on the one or more locations, the different instance of video content including calibrated video content; matching one or more images from the instance of video content to one or more images of the different instance of video content; calibrating, with the computing device and based at least in part on said matching, the instance of video content by automatically propagating geographical position information associated with the different instance of video content to the instance of video content such that the instance of video content is provided and calibrated with the geographical position information to generate a calibrated version of the instance of video content; causing a notification of the different instance of video content to be presented; receiving a user input of a search term; searching the calibrated version of the instance of video content for a geographical location that corresponds to the search term; and causing playback of the calibrated version of the instance of video content to jump directly to a portion of the calibrated version of the instance of video content that is associated with the search term.
