  • Patent number: 11810358
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to video segmentation based on a query. Initially, a first segmentation such as a default segmentation is displayed (e.g., as interactive tiles in a finder interface, as a video timeline in an editor interface), and the default segmentation is re-segmented in response to a user query. The query can take the form of a keyword and one or more selected facets in a category of detected features. Keywords are searched for detected transcript words, detected object or action tags, or detected audio event tags that match the keywords. Selected facets are searched for detected instances of the selected facets. Each video segment that matches the query is re-segmented by solving a shortest path problem through a graph that models different segmentation options.
