Abstract

A method and system can generate video content from a video. The method and system can include a coordinator, an image detector, and an object recognizer. The coordinator can be communicatively coupled to a splitter and/or to a plurality of demultiplexer nodes. The splitter can be configured to segment the video. The demultiplexer nodes can be configured to extract audio files from the video and/or to extract still frame images from the video. The image detector can be configured to detect images of objects in the still frame images. The object recognizer can be configured to compare an image of an object to a fractal. The recognizer can be further configured to update the fractal with the image. The coordinator can be configured to embed metadata about the object into the video.

Claims (14)

1. A system for generating data from a video, comprising:

a coordinator communicatively coupled to a splitter and to a plurality of demultiplexer nodes, wherein the splitter is configured to segment the video, wherein the demultiplexer nodes are configured to extract audio files from the video and to extract still frame images from the video;

an image detector configured to detect an image of an object in the still frame images, wherein the image detector is adjustable to increase detection of non-primary images in the video; and

an object recognizer configured to compare the image of the object to a fractal, wherein the fractal includes a representation of the object based on landmarks associated with the object, wherein the recognizer is further configured to update the fractal with the image.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the coordinator is configured to increase the plurality of demultiplexer nodes when a threshold of processing capacity is reached.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the recognizer is configured to determine distinguishing geometric features of the object.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the distinguishing geometric features comprise a contour of eye sockets, a nose, and a chin.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the recognizer is configured to determine skin textures of the object.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the distinguishing geometric features or the skin textures are determined based on a three-dimensional model.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the three-dimensional model is a three-dimensional morphable model.

8. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a processor and a camera for capturing the video.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the processor is configured to transform the video into a rectilinear format.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the coordinator is configured to embed metadata about the object into the video, and wherein the metadata comprises a timestamp and a coordinate location of the object in the still frame images.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the coordinator is configured to generate a metadata stream corresponding to the image, wherein the metadata stream includes one or more timestamps corresponding to the image, and wherein the coordinator is configured to embed the metadata stream in the video.
