Methods and systems for automated video segmentation are disclosed. A sequence of video frames having video segments of contextually-related sub-sequences may be received. Each frame may be labeled according to segment and segment class. A video graph may be constructed in which each node corresponds to a different frame, and each edge connects a different pair of nodes, and is associated with a time between video frames and a similarity metric of the connected frames. An artificial neural network (ANN) may be trained to predict both labels for the nodes and clusters of the nodes corresponding to predicted membership among the segments, using the video graph as input to the ANN, and ground-truth clusters of ground-truth labeled nodes. The ANN may be further trained to predict segment classes of the predicted clusters, using the segment classes as ground truths. The trained ANN may be configured for application runtime video sequences.

A prediction system harvests geo-tagged ground-level images through one or more algorithms. The system receives point of interest data representing structures or events and tags the geo-tagged ground-level images with a probability describing a classification. The system tags point of interest data with a hierarchical genre classification and encodes the tagged geo-tagged ground-level images as vectors to form nodes and edges in a proximity graph. The system encodes tagged points of interest data as similarity vectors to render more nodes and more edges on the proximity graph associated with the tagged geo-tagged ground-level images nodes by calculated semantic distances. The system splits the proximity graph into a training subgraph and a testing subgraph and trains a neural network by aggregating and sampling information from neighboring nodes within the training subgraph graph and validates through the testing subgraph. Training ends when a loss measurement is below a threshold.

A method for processing a candidate digital image includes defining a set of noteworthy points in the candidate digital image. A set of at least three noteworthy points is selected to comprise a notable departure point, a notable arrival point, and a third notable point not aligned with the notable departure point and the notable arrival point. A set of at least one route, between the notable departure point and the notable arrival point, is defined. The route passes through all of the selected notable points. Local characteristics, of the pixels located along the route, are extracted. The signal, corresponding to the variation in the magnitude of the local characteristics as a function of each pixel along each defined route, is recorded in the form of a fingerprint.
