VIDEO SEARCH APPARATUS, VIDEO SEARCH METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18222818 titled 'VIDEO SEARCH APPARATUS, VIDEO SEARCH METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The present disclosure describes a video search apparatus that uses scene information, event information, and time information to search for specific events within a target video image.
- The search unit of the apparatus uses the scene information, which includes a plurality of events constituting a video scene, and the time information to set a search range for an event in the target video image.
- The search unit then searches for the event included in the event information within the set search range.
- The determination unit of the apparatus determines a video section in the target video image that corresponds to the scene information targeted for the search based on the result of the event search.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Video surveillance systems: The apparatus can be used to search for specific events or activities within surveillance footage, making it easier to locate and analyze relevant information.
- Video editing software: The apparatus can assist in automatically identifying and extracting specific scenes or events from video footage, streamlining the editing process.
- Content recommendation systems: The apparatus can help in recommending relevant videos or scenes to users based on their preferences and interests.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Time-consuming manual search: The apparatus eliminates the need for manual searching through large amounts of video footage by automatically setting a search range and searching for specific events.
- Inefficient video analysis: The apparatus improves the efficiency of video analysis by accurately determining the video sections that correspond to the targeted scene information.
- Difficulty in locating specific events: The apparatus simplifies the process of locating specific events within video images, making it easier to extract relevant information.
Benefits of this technology:
- Time-saving: The apparatus automates the search process, saving time and effort in locating specific events within video footage.
- Improved accuracy: By using scene information and event information, the apparatus enhances the accuracy of event detection and video section determination.
- Enhanced productivity: The apparatus streamlines video analysis and editing tasks, improving overall productivity in various applications.
