Analyze – Recognize – Find . . . with Artificial Intelligence. Detects faces, concepts, written and spoken word.
Smart Indexing uses AI and machine learning to dramatically increase the speed and precision with which metadata can be included within the asset – giving it substantially more value. Using a film keyframes, Smart Indexing is capable of delivering a tagging result in seconds. AI allows Smart Indexing to automatically recognize over ten thousand objects, scenes and events with an accuracy that is equal to, or better, than that of a human It recognizes faces (including emotions) and distinguishes “known” faces, or the user can add names to faces and those faces, with their associated data, are added to the Smart Indexing database such that they are automatically recognizable in other assets going forward. Smart Indexing automatically searches for a Wikipedia file related to the film title and links to it. In addition, it includes an advanced speech-to-text capability, providing an immediate transcript of the audio which becomes part of the asset’s new searchable metadata. Smart Indexing is available integrated with the Vintage Cloud Steenbeck digitizer, or as a standalone solution that can import and enhance metadata from archives that have already been digitized. Smart Indexing is now in beta-test with selected customers and is projected for release in 2021.
