Object recognition in videos is the topic of a new research project funded by the State Ministry for Economics of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Partners in this project are Future TV, an innovative company from Rostock (Germany) in the field of media and entertainment, Fraunhofer-Institute IGD-Rostock and the chair Business Information Systems. The core intention of the project is to develop a fully automatic tagging of arbitrary video films which provides information about the objects visible in the video in different scenes and at different points in time. This information about the video content could be used to select the most relevant video for the interests of a consumer or what commercials would fit best to the video content and the user watching the video – to give just two examples. From a technical perspective, the project aims at combining different techniques from artificial intelligence to improve precision of the object recognition and at the same time reduce the computational workload. The sub-project of Rostock University is called “Sematic Assistance for Object Recognition in Videos (SEMA)” and has a planned runtime of 24 months starting in April 2018. First results are expected in autumn 2018.
