  • Publication number: 20230092847
    Abstract: There is provided a system including a non-transitory memory storing an executable code and a hardware processor executing the executable code to receive a media content including a plurality of frames, divide the media content into a plurality of shots, each of the plurality of shots including a plurality of frames of the media content based on a first similarity between the plurality of frames, determine a plurality of sequential shots of the plurality of shots to be part of a first sub-scene of a plurality of sub-scenes of a scene based on a timeline continuity of the plurality of sequential shots, identify each of the plurality of shots of the media content and each of the plurality of sub-scenes with a corresponding beginning time code and a corresponding ending time code.

  • Patent number: 11550840
    Abstract: According to one implementation, a system for performing graph-based media content evaluation includes a computing platform having a hardware processor, and a system memory storing a media content evaluation software code and a graph database. The hardware processor is configured to execute the media content evaluation software code to receive a query from a system user, and to identify one or more media content evaluation metrics corresponding to the query. In addition, the hardware processor is configured to execute the media content evaluation software code to search the graph database for a media content data relevant to the one or more media content evaluation metrics, and to retrieve the media content data from the graph database. The hardware processor is further configured to execute the media content evaluation software code to generate a report responsive to the query using the media content data.

  • Patent number: 11089345
    Abstract: According to one implementation, a system for programmatic generation of media content digests includes a computing platform having a hardware processor and a system memory storing a media content digest software code. The hardware processor executes the media content digest software code to identify a media content for use in generating a content digest, the media content including a timecode of the media content, to access a metadata describing the media content and indexed to the timecode, and to identify one or more constraints for the content digest. In addition, the hardware processor executes the media content digest software code to programmatically extract content segments from the media content using the metadata indexed to the timecode and based on the one or more constraints, and to generate the content digest based on the media content from the content segments.
