An input section inputs, to a learned machine learning model that has been learned using learning data that includes learning input data including a plurality of consecutive frames of learning images and teaching data including a message associated with the learning input data, target input data including at least a plurality of consecutive frames of target images. A message identification section identifies a message according to output produced when the target input data is input to the machine learning model. A message output section outputs the identified message.

A plurality of pieces of image data and audio data are determined from a data area. Information on a slideshow group associated with a plurality of pieces of identification information identifying the respective pieces of image data and identification information identifying the audio data, and location information indicating locations, in the data area, of the plurality of pieces of image data and the audio data are stored in a metadata area. The metadata, the plurality of pieces of image data, and the audio data are stored in a single media file.

In one aspect, an example method includes (i) receiving a first group of video content items; (ii) identifying from among the first group of video content items, a second group of video content items having a threshold extent of similarity with each other; (iii) determining a quality score for each video content item of the second group; (iv) identifying from among the second group of video content items, a third group of video content items each having a quality score that exceeds a quality score threshold; and (v) based on the identifying of the third group, transmitting at least a portion of at least one video content item of the identified third group to a digital video-effect (DVE) system, wherein the system is configured for using the at least the portion of the at least one video content item of the identified third group to generate a video content item.

A system and method for frame accurate editing of high resolution live video streams is disclosed. A method includes providing a low resolution video stream displayed in a first viewing portion of an edit user interface, wherein the low resolution video stream corresponds to a high resolution video stream of the live video content, receiving, via the viewing portion of the user interface, user input identifying a first start point and a first end point within the low resolution video stream, and transmitting the first start point and the first end point to a server to obtain a respective intermediate video segment of an intermediate resolution video stream corresponding to the high resolution video stream. The method further includes presenting the respective intermediate video segment in a second viewing portion of the edit user interface, the second viewing portion comprising a frame identifying section to identify frames corresponding to the first start point and the first end point, receiving user input identifying a second start point and a second end point from within the intermediate resolution video stream, and transmitting the second start point and the second end point to the server to obtain a respective high resolution video segment from the high resolution video stream for presentation to the user.

A method for generating a video can include: acquiring a profile of a video template, the profile being configured to describe one or more reference materials of the video template and an animated special effect corresponding to each of the one or more reference materials; acquiring the one or more reference materials based on the profile; acquiring a target material; acquiring at least one replaced reference material by replacing at least one of the one or more reference materials with the target material; and generating a target video with the animated special effect by rendering the one or more replaced reference material based on the profile.

Methods and systems described herein generate content that quickly cycles between different-colored frames at a rapid rate that may be imperceptible to human viewers. The human eye tends to blend nearby frames together, so that a human viewer will see a full color spectrum even though only a single color is displayed at any given time. The video display may repeatedly cycle between individual color frames, thus providing video content that appears normal to a human viewer. However, a video recording device may capture only some of the color frames. Therefore, the video recorded by video recording devices may include undesirable color flicker or other color artifacts, which may deter unauthorized copying.

A data storage device and method for auto-peeling of surveillance video content to increase archival storage is provided. In one embodiment, a data storage device is provided comprising a memory and a controller. The controller is configured to determine that available storage space in the memory is less than a threshold; in response to determining that the available storage space in the memory is less than the threshold: read a video file from the memory; and re-encode the video file to decrease a size of the video file, wherein re-encoding the video file increases available storage space in the memory without deleting the video file. Other embodiments are provided.

This disclosure relates to the embedding of visual objects into the image content of a video by a visual embed specialist, whilst maintaining the security of the video. A low-resolution version of the video content is sent by the video owner to the specialist for analysis to identify parts of the video that are suitable for visual object insertion. A high resolution version of those identified parts of the video is then sent to the specialist for visual object insertion. The specialist may then return the modified parts of the video and the content owner create a final version of the high-resolution video by replacing the relevant parts of the high-resolution video with the modified parts.

The present technology relates to a reproduction device, a reproduction method, and a recording medium that enable content having a wide dynamic range of brightness to be displayed with an appropriate brightness. A recording medium, on which the reproduction device of one aspect of the present technology performs reproduction, records coded data of an extended video that is a video having a second brightness range that is wider than a first brightness range, brightness characteristic information that represents a brightness characteristic of the extended video, and brightness conversion definition information used when performing a brightness conversion of the extended video to a standard video that is a video having the first brightness range. The reproduction device decodes the coded data and converts the extended video obtained by decoding the coded data to the standard video on the basis of the brightness conversion definition information.

Disclosed are a video processing device, a video processing method, a monitor apparatus, a computer device, and a computer-readable medium. The video processing device includes: a receiver, a normalization processor, a selector and an image processor. The receiver is configured to receive an original video image. The normalization processor includes a plurality of normalization sub-circuits each configured to perform format adjustment on the original video image to generate a video image in a target format. Different normalization sub-circuits perform the format adjustment in different manners. The selector is configured to output the video image generated by at least one of the normalization sub-circuits to the image processor according to a received selection instruction; and the image processor is configured to generate an image to be displayed from the received video image.
