Abstract: A system and method and for searching for an element in and replacement a portion of a video is conducted by retrieving the video and generating a video index for the video, the video index indexing a plurality of elements of the video such as text, audio and video. To search in the vide, a search query is received that includes at least one of a text element, an audio element, an image element, or a video element. Features and embeddings are extracted from the search query before comparing the search query features with the video index to identify a portion of the video that includes one of the text element, audio element, image element or video element of the search query. The identified portion is then automatically replaced with a replacement portion to generate a revised video.

Abstract: The exemplified systems and methods disclosed herein involve the contemporaneous and concurrent stimulation of both eyes of a patient with dissimilar visual scenes that substantially span an expected or normal visual field of both eyes. During an assessment via the exemplified system and methods, a test eye (i.e., eye being assessed) is presented a visual scene that is rich in contours (e.g., a scene with rich texture patterns) that substantially span an expected or normal visual field of a person while the non-tested eye is presented an impoverished visual scene (e.g., a contour-free or non-distinguishing-contour scene, e.g., with a homogeneous color, with respect to the contour-rich scene). Defects in the visual field can be detected by assessing for breaks or discontinuity in the observation of the contour-rich scene by the person.
