Nvidia patents method to split videos for faster metadata creation
Nvidia describes a technique that breaks a video into smaller segments to process them separately. The system creates data about objects in each segment and then combines these pieces to track objects across the entire video.
In the filing’s own words
In various examples, techniques for video metadata generation using video segmentation and data fusion are described herein. For instance, systems and methods described herein may segment a video may into video segments using one or more factors that are configured to enhance the processing of the individual video segments. For example, the video segments may be processed—such as by using one or more processing components and/or parallel processing—to generate instances of metadata associated with the video segments. As described herein, an instance of metadata may represent at least identifiers, spatio-temporal information, and/or visual information associated with objects as represented by a video segment. The systems and methods described herein may then analyze the instances of metadata to track objects between the video segments (e.g., perform object reassociation) and generate fused metadata associated with the video.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A method comprising: determining, using at least one of image data representative of a video or available processing capacity of one or more processing components for processing the image data, a partitioning of the video that includes at least a first segment of the video and a second segment of the video; generating, using the one or more processing components, at least first metadata associated with the first segment and second metadata associated with the second segment; generating, based at least on analyzing the first metadata with respect to the second metadata, fused metadata associated with the video; and storing, in one or more databases, the fused metadata associated with the video.
