Turning Visual Recognition into Video Recognition
Flash Talk, Explore Track
Robert Rios (Software Dev, BlueChasm), Ryan VanAlstein (CTO, BlueChasm)
Abstract:
By 2017 nearly 70% of Internet data will be composed of video. With the
volume of content generation at an all-time high, video analytics is quickly
becoming a critical tool to enable organizations to make sense of all this
unstructured data. Join us to learn how to get more out of Watson’s Visual
Recognition API by integrating it with your app to strategically analyze video.
While visual recognition is typically intended to process still images, we are
able to process videos and extract relevant tags by using a variety of open
source tools and a simple algorithm. This opens up a whole new category of
possible use cases for Watson services.
In this session we will create a simple API to process video using these tools:
