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 20240196000 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 an object detection unit, a metadata addition unit, and a control unit to enhance the video data with object-related information.
- Object detection unit performs object detection processing on the video indicated by the video data obtained.
- Metadata addition unit adds information related to the detected object as metadata to the encoded data of the corresponding frame of the video.
- Control unit manages the metadata addition unit based on the detection processing results, adding metadata indicating the disappearance of the object to subsequent frames that meet specific conditions.
Potential Applications: - Video content management systems - Surveillance systems - Augmented reality applications
Problems Solved: - Enhances video data with object-related information - Improves object tracking and recognition in videos
Benefits: - Enhanced video content with object metadata - Improved object tracking and recognition accuracy - Automated metadata addition process
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Video Content Management System for Object Tracking" This technology can be utilized in video content management systems for various industries, including security, entertainment, and marketing, to enhance object tracking and recognition capabilities.
Prior Art: Prior research in object detection and video metadata enhancement technologies can be explored to understand the evolution of similar systems.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in object detection algorithms, video metadata processing techniques, and applications of AI in video content management systems.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does the apparatus differentiate between different objects in the video for metadata addition? 2. What are the potential limitations of the object detection unit in complex video environments?
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.
