Abstract

A location in a video may be specified and content related to the location may be accessed. A method for accessing the related content may include receiving a reference to a pixel location in a frame of a video feed of a filmed occurrence and accessing a spatio-temporal index corresponding to the filmed occurrence. The spatio-temporal index may index information relating to events or objects of the filmed occurrence and corresponding pixel locations at which the events or the objects are detected in the video feed. The method may further include querying the spatio-temporal index using the pixel location to determine particular information of an indexed event or an indexed object and receiving the particular information wherein the particular information indicates at least one of spatial and temporal alignment parameters for aligning the indexed event with a corresponding event in at least one other video feed of the filmed occurrence.

Claims (8)

1. A method for accessing content related to location in a video, the method comprising:

receiving a reference to a pixel location in a frame of a video feed of a filmed occurrence;

accessing a spatio-temporal index corresponding to the filmed occurrence,

querying the spatio-temporal index using the pixel location to determine particular information stored in the spatio-temporal index for an indexed object or an indexed event that is associated with the pixel location; and

receiving the particular information from the spatio-temporal index;

wherein the spatio-temporal index relates respective second pixel locations of the indexed object or the indexed event in a second video feed with respective pixel locations of the indexed object or the indexed event in the video feed and respective spatial locations of the indexed object or the indexed event as determined from a tracking video feed.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the indexed object that is associated with the location of the pixel is a participant of a sporting event and the particular information includes statistics relating to the participant.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the indexed event that is associated with the location of the pixel is a matchup of a sporting event and the particular information includes statistics relating to the matchup.
