VIDEO DISTRIBUTION APPARATUS, VIDEO RECEPTION APPARATUS, CONTROL METHODS THEREFOR, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18493874 titled 'VIDEO DISTRIBUTION APPARATUS, VIDEO RECEPTION APPARATUS, CONTROL METHODS THEREFOR, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM
The patent application describes a video distribution apparatus that includes object detection and metadata addition units to enhance video content.
- Object detection unit performs object detection processing on video data obtained by the image capturing unit.
- Metadata addition unit adds information related to detected objects as metadata to the encoded data of the corresponding video frame.
- Control unit manages the metadata addition based on the detection results, adding metadata indicating object disappearance to subsequent frames meeting certain conditions.
Potential Applications: - Enhancing video content with object-related metadata for improved user experience. - Automated tagging and indexing of objects in videos for easier search and retrieval.
Problems Solved: - Streamlining the process of adding metadata to video content based on object detection results. - Providing context and information about objects in videos for better understanding.
Benefits: - Improved organization and searchability of video content. - Enhanced user experience through relevant object metadata. - Automation of metadata addition process for efficiency.
Commercial Applications: "Automated Video Content Enhancement: Revolutionizing the way metadata is added to video content for better organization and user experience."
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the object detection unit identify and track objects in the video content? 2. What specific conditions trigger the addition of metadata indicating object disappearance in subsequent frames?
Original Abstract Submitted
A video distribution apparatus includes an object detection unit configured to execute object detection processing with respect to a video indicated by video data obtained by the image capturing unit; metadata addition unit configured to add information related to an object obtained by the object detection unit, as metadata, to encoded data of a corresponding frame of the video, and a control unit configured to control the metadata addition unit based on a result of the detection processing executed by the object detection unit, wherein in a case where the result of the detection processing executed by the object detection unit indicates a disappearance of the object, the control unit controls the metadata addition unit to add metadata indicating the disappearance of the object also to a frame that follows the corresponding frame and satisfies a predetermined condition.
