Google’s Cloud Video Intelligence API can identify objects in videos

Google has launched its Cloud Video Intelligence API, which uses deep-learning models and was built using frameworks like TensorFlow.

The API enables developers to search and discover video content by providing information about elements – such as “dog,” “flower”, or “human”, or “run,” “swim”, or “fly” – inside video content.

It can provide contextual understanding of when those entities appear. For example, searching for “Tiger” would find all precise shots containing tigers across a video collection in Google Cloud Storage.

“Google has a long history of working with the largest media companies in the world, and we help them find value from unstructured data like video,” said Google.

This API is for large media organisations and consumer technology companies which want to build media catalogues or find ways to manage crowd-sourced content.
