Intelligent Content Services
The amount of user generated digital content in the form of images and videos has seen tremendous growth over the last decade. The key elements providing impetus for this growth are: proliferation of inexpensive digital cameras, video recorders and hand held devices; adoption of digital video by marketing and broadcast industry as a part of their distribution services; and most importantly popularity of web based video content providers and social networking web-sites such as YouTube, Facebook, MySpace, Hulu, DailyMotion etc. As record number of video clips are generated and added into digital libraries of these popular sites every day all over the world, the need for efficient management and processing of this content by means of content extraction, storage, indexing and retrieval has become paramount.
At TechArete we provide intelligent content services that focus on developing stand-alone and web based technologies capable of processing the information created by metadata extraction from images and videos. The information is delivered to end-users in easy to use interfaces.
The intelligent content services currently provided by TechArete falls under following broad categories:
Image/Video Search and Retrieval
Our image/video search services and solutions allow you to perform intelligent content aware search and retrieval in large visual repositories.
Indexing
Our image and video indexing services allows rapid retrieval of images or videos based on their visual content. Pivotal to these indexing services is the process of metadata extraction that captures and describes the video content in terms of key words. We accomplish this metadata generation through our proprietary algorithms that fuse information from many sources that include, but are not limited to: video soundtrack, video closed- captioning or overlaid text, and video content.
Video Browsing
Our video browsing services provides the ability to rapidly discover presence of entities of interest (faces, named entities, key moments) within a video.
Summarization
Our summarization services provide a compressed representation of the automatically extracted video content. Summaries are provided as various levels of abstraction, starting from key-frame and going all the way up to event level summaries. In addition, summaries can be presented for each story segment within a video in form of filmstrip, storyboards, and shots. We also support multi-modal presentation of summaries by combining audio, image, and text information.
Filtering
Our video and image filtering services allows you to quickly sort through huge repositories of image and video data in order get you to the most relevant subset. We provide both interactive and automatic filtering.
Video Mining
Our video mining service provide you the capacity to identify and visualize trends, patterns, similarities, dissimilarities, geo-graphical distribution, anomalies, or other relevant associations in image and video metadata. These services can be deployed to mine videos from various online sources or can deployed in-house to process a local video database.
Video Monitoring
Our video monitoring services provide you the ability to focus attention on specific objects, activities or events in video feeds of public places. These services also provide ability to recognize events and objects that may have occurred in large volumes of prior surveillance data.
