Abstract

A method and system can generate video content from a video. The method and system can include generating audio files and image files from the video, distributing the audio files and the image files across a plurality of processors and processing the audio files and the image files in parallel. The audio files associated with the video to text and the image files associated with the video to video content can be converted. The text and the video content can be cross-referenced with the video.

Claims (49)

1. A method to generate video data from a video comprising:

generating audio files and image files from the video;

distributing the image files across a plurality of processors and processing the image files in parallel, wherein processing the image files comprises extracting one or more objects and identifying the one or more objects;

processing the audio files;

converting audio files associated with the video to text;

converting the image files associated with the video to video data;

generating a topical meta-data that describes content of the video by deriving semantic information from the identification of the one or more objects and semantic information from the audio files;

adding the topical meta-data to the video; and

cross-referencing the text and the video data based on the generated topical meta-data to determine topics;

generating video text based on the cross-referencing, wherein the video text describes content of the video;

generating a text, image, or animation based on the video text; and

placing the text, image, or animation in the video.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

generating a content-rich video based on the video, the text, and the video data.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

applying natural language processing to the text to determine context associated with the video.

4. The method according to claim 2 , further comprising:

applying natural language processing to the text to extract the topical meta-data.

5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

processing the image files to extract additional text.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the additional text is generated by segmenting the image files before processing the image files in parallel.

7. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a motion associated with the one or more objects.

8. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising segmenting the audio files before processing the audio files in parallel.

9. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the audio files and the image files are segmented at spectrum thresholds.

10. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

generating an advertisement based on the text and the video data.

11. The method according to claim 10 , further comprising:

placing the advertisement in the video at a preferred time.

12. The method according to claim 6 wherein the additional text includes information regarding context associated with the video.

13. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the additional text relates to a symbol appearing in the video.

14. The method according to claim 13 , wherein the symbol is a brand logo, and wherein the additional text includes information regarding placement and time of appearance of the brand logo.

15. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more objects are letters appearing in the video.

16. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the additional text relates to faces appearing in the video.

17. A system for extracting data from a video, comprising:

a computer processor having a plurality of processors for parallel processing; and

a non-transitory computer readable medium containing instructions directing the system to execute the steps of:

converting audio associated with the video to text;

converting images associated with the video to video data;

generating the video data by segmenting image files of the video before processing the image files in parallel;

identifying one or more objects in the image files;

generating data topics, from the text and the video data, that describe content of the video by deriving semantic information from the identification of the one or more objects and semantic information from the audio;

adding the data topics to the video as meta-data;

cross-referencing the text, the video data, and the topics with the video based on the generated data topics;

generating a text, image, or animation based on the data topics; and

placing the text, image, or animation in the video.

18. The system according to claim 17 , wherein converting the audio comprises natural language processing.

19. The system according to claim 17 , the computer directs the audio to be converted by at least one node of a cluster and the computer directs the images to be converted by at least one other node of the cluster in parallel.

20. The server according to claim 17 , wherein the audio and the images are segmented at spectrum thresholds.
