Data-Enhanced Video Viewing System and Methods for Computer Vision Processing

摘要

A data-enhanced video viewing system scans videos in order to detect and extract certain objects, such as human faces, so as to compile non-time based synopses, including “facelines” of people appearing in the video sequence. It can also provide a time-based synopsis that includes timestamps for all detected objects. The data-enhanced video viewing system can be deployed on a network for a client to request data extraction on one or more designated videos. The designated video may be one of those that have been uploaded to social networks, uploaded to online video hosting sites, streamed over the Internet or other network, or uploaded directly by the user.

1. A method, comprising:
receiving at a video system of one or more servers a request from a first client to provide specified data on a video sequence at a specified location; accessing by the video system of the video sequence from the specified location; analyzing by the video system of the accessed video sequence to extract the specified data; and providing the extracted specified data from the video system to the first client.
