Managing
digital media assets is a "mission critical" requirement
of an ever-growing number of enterprises in media, e-commerce, entertainment,
education, government, or any organization for whom images and video
are an important element of their daily workflow. The need to work
with these assets efficiently, and to be able to re-use and repurpose
this material is key to the bottom line. Although significant investments
are being made to put in place comprehensive Digital Asset Management
(DAM) solutions, to truly leverage the value of these assets there
is a missing ingredient that only piXlogic can provide.
piXlogic makes the most of your content management system by adding
a new layer of functionality that leverages the visual information
content of your media assets. The piXlogic software automatically
captures object level information in your images and video at the
time that this material is first "ingested" (or "checked-in")
to your content management system. This gives you the opportunity
to work with the material at a "logical content" level,
not just at the "container" level. You don't have to worry
about manually entering a complete description of what's in an image
or a video sequence (e.g. this is a picture of a round, brown table,
with four chairs and a flower pot, two people sitting, and one standing,
a lamp, etc. etc.). The piXlogic software will do much of this work
for you automatically, and allow you to interact with the index
visually.
The piXlogic
software can help you in a range of Media Asset Management applications,
and bring value to your end-users by introducing features such
as:
- Intelligent Visual Object Search
With a very small computational cost, archived video and image
libraries are searched visually, at an object level, more accurately
than ever before. In addition the media library can be searched
using external images.
- Smart Browsing
With piXlogic, the media library are navigated visually as the
user sees fit by relating images and video segments that contain
the same or similar objects.
- Keywords Suggest
piXlogic can suggest keywords for your new images and videos
based on degree of object similarity/commonality to assets already
part of your asset library. The manual effort needed to add
keyword metadata is reduced, keywords become more consistent,
and over time the scope of the keyword entries becomes richer
and more consistent for all your managed assets.
- Dynamic Video Segmentation
Scene analysis is the most common way to segment a video. This
segmentation is usually done at the time of ingestion, and is
static (e.g. only done once at the time of indexing). With piXlogic,
indexed video is segmented at the time the user carries out
a search, and that segmentation reflects the search subject.
This is a much more powerful way to present and organize the
contents of a video library to the end user.
