Abstract: Systems, methods, and software described herein to manage preferences for video search. In one implementation, a video processing service may receive a request for video data that satisfies one or more criteria, wherein the one or more criteria includes at least one color for an object. In response to the request, the video processing service may identify one or more secondary colors associated with the at least one color and update the one or more criteria to include the one or more secondary colors. The video processing service may then select the video data from a video source that satisfies the updated one or more criteria.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and software described herein manage descriptive attributes associated with objects in video data. In one example, a video processing service obtains video data and identifies an object of interest in the video data. The video processing service further identifies attributes for the object of interest from the video data based on the attributes satisfying uniqueness requirements to differentiate the object of interest from other objects. Once the attributes are identified, the attributes may be stored in a storage system to be compared against other objects in second video data.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and software described herein manage video data processing resources for video data obtained from one or more sources. In one implementation, a management system may monitor processing requirements for the video data and computing resources available at multiple video processing locations. The management system may further allocate processing operations to the video processing locations based on the processing requirements for the video data and computing resources available at the video processing locations.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and software described herein manage the playback speed of video data based on processing objects in the video data. In one example, a video processing service obtains video data from a video source and identifies objects of interest in the video data. The video processing service further determines complexity in frames of the video data related to the objects of interest and updates playback speeds for segments of the video data based on the complexity of the frames.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and software described herein manage the storage of video data in multiple storage locations. In one example, a system obtains video data from a video source and stores the video data in a first format in a first storage location. Additionally, the system stores the video data in a second format in a second storage location, wherein the second format comprises one or more lesser video quality characteristics than the first format. The system further identifies metadata associated with the video data and stores the metadata in the second storage location.
