MediaMixer partner CERTH would like to announce the availability of our new on-line video analysis service. This is a REST service that receives the URL of a video and automatically performs temporal segmentation of it to shots and scenes, and annotation of each shot with concepts from our sample concept pool (comprising a few hundred concepts). The entire analysis process is several times faster than real-time. This service uses our fast ...
CERTH just publicly released version 1.2 of its software for the automatic temporal segmentation of videos. This extends the previous versions by integrating algorithms for video scene segmentation and keyframe selection (up to 5 most representative keyframes of each scene are identified), on top of the segmentation to shots that is also performed by the released software. The new algorithmic additions do not affect the processing speed, which remains at least 2-3 times faster than real-time ...
