Patent number: 8576342Abstract: A system and method that processes video to extract a keyframe-based adequate visual representation is disclosed. Certain embodiments utilize a hierarchical processing technique. A first stage in the hierarchy extracts a chromatic difference metric from a pair of video frames. An initial set of frames is chosen based on the chromatic metric and a threshold. A structural difference measurement is extracted from this initial set of frames. A second threshold is used to select key frames from the initial set. The first and second thresholds can be user selectable. The output of this process is the visual representation. The method is extensible to any number of metrics and any number of levels.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2012Date of Patent: November 5, 2013Assignee: Virage, Inc.Inventors: Arun Hampapur, Mojgan Monika Gorkani, Chiao-Fe Shu, Amarnath Gupta

Patent number: 7403224Abstract: A digital capture system, such as a digital still camera or digital video recorder, has an embedded real-time content-based analysis function in the capture device to extract metadata from the digital signals. In one embodiment, metadata (descriptive information about the digital content) is formatted and stored separately from the content. In another embodiment, the metadata may be formatted and combined with the digital content in a container format such as MPEG-7, QuickTime, or FlashPix.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2004Date of Patent: July 22, 2008Assignee: Virage, Inc.Inventors: Charles Fuller, Mojgan Monika Gorkani, Richard D. Humphrey

Patent number: 7093191Abstract: One aspect of the invention is directed to a system and method for video cataloging. The video is cataloged according to predefined or user definable metadata. The metadata is used to index and then retrieve encoded video. In one embodiment, the video is cataloged concurrently with encoding of the video.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2001Date of Patent: August 15, 2006Assignee: Virage, Inc.Inventors: Ramesh Jain, Charles Fuller, Mojgan Monika Gorkani, Bradley Horowitz, Richard D.

Patent number: 6877134Abstract: One aspect of the invention is directed to a system and method for a digital capture system, such as a digital encoder, having an embedded real-time content-based analysis function in the capture device to extract metadata from the digital signals. In one embodiment, metadata (descriptive information about the digital content) is formatted and stored separately from the content. In another embodiment, the metadata may be formatted and combined with the digital content in a container format such as MPEG-7, QuickTime, or FlashPix. Digital encoding mechanisms, both pure hardware and hardware/software combinations, convert an analog video signal into a digitally encoded video bitstream. The system extracts metadata in real-time during the encoding process.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 1999Date of Patent: April 5, 2005Assignee: Virage, Inc.Inventors: Charles Fuller, Mojgan Monika Gorkani, Richard D.

Patent number: 6567980Abstract: One aspect of the invention is directed to a system and method for video cataloging. The video is cataloged according to predefined or user definable metadata. The metadata is used to index and then retrieve encoded video. In another aspect of the invention, video metadata track processors convert metadata tracks of the video information to produce displayable frames containing hyperlinking between displayable data. Another aspect of the invention is directed to a method of browsing stored video information, including displaying hyperlinked frames of metadata track representations, and selecting and displaying links between displayable frames.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 1998Date of Patent: May 20, 2003Assignee: Virage, Inc.Inventors: Ramesh Jain, Charles Fuller, Mojgan Monika Gorkani, Bradley Horowitz, Richard D.

Patent number: 6463444Abstract: One aspect of the invention is directed to a system and method for video cataloging. The video is cataloged according to predefined or user definable metadata. The metadata is used to index and then retrieve encoded video. Video feature extractors produce metadata tracks from the video information, and each metadata track indexes the stored video information. A feature extractor registration interface registers the video feature extractors, providing for registration with the video engine of new video feature extractors with new metadata tracks.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 1998Date of Patent: October 8, 2002Assignee: Virage, Inc.Inventors: Ramesh Jain, Charles Fuller, Mojgan Monika Gorkani, Bradley Horowitz, Richard D.
