The Professional Edition of piXserve includes all the features of
the Standard Edition, and is particularly well suited in application
environments that involve large amounts of video material to be
ingested on a daily basis. The application leverages
multi-CPU/multi-core-CPU hardware architectures so that multiple
incoming video streams can be indexed efficiently.
With piXserve Professional Edition, multiple indexing servers can
work together and can be load balanced for a robust configuration.
Distributed configurations are also supported. The index
records can be shared and made available to other piXserve
installations in near-real-time for either search or alerting
purposes.
Key features:
Automatic Indexing
Point piXserve to a repository of images and video and
automatically index their contents. No manual intervention or
data entry required.
Powerful Search Through a web browser interface, users login to piXserve,
connect to available databases and formulate search queries to
retrieve images and specific segments of video files:
Use an arbitrary image from user’s dektop to search for
images/video segments that contain the same or similar items
Use the mouse to point to an
area of the query image to
indicate which specific item(s)
should be searched for.
Browse the contents of existing databases, and use any
of those images to formulate a visual search query.
Type a text string to search pictures/videos where that
string appears in the field of view
Perform not only simple but also complex searches
(Example: type a text string to retrieve broadcast news
segments where that word is visible on the screen, and then
use a picture to search those results and retrieve segments
where both the text string and the desired visual object(s)
are in the same frame.
Search by file name (any text substring that appears in
the full path of the image/video file).
Search by keyword or other external metadata, if
available.
Suggest keywords to describe the contents of a picture
Comprehensive Search Environment Users can prune and save search results for future
reference. Search results can be annotated and, as they are
stored in XML format, can be easily imported in typical office
productivity applications.
