In various embodiments, methods and systems for implementing a media management system, for video data processing and adaptation data generation, are provided. At a high level, a video data processing engine relies on different types of video data properties and additional auxiliary data resources to perform video optical character recognition operations for recognizing characters in video data. In operation, video data is accessed to identify recognized characters. A video OCR operation to perform on the video data for character recognition is determined from video character processing and video auxiliary data processing. Video auxiliary data processing includes processing an auxiliary reference object; the auxiliary reference object is an indirect reference object that is a derived input element used as a factor in determining the recognized characters. The video data is processed based on the video OCR operation and based on processing the video data, at least one recognized character is communicated.

Media management system for video data processing and adaptation data generation

In various embodiments, methods and systems for implementing video segmentation are provided. A video management system implements a video segment manager that supports generating enhanced segmented video. Enhanced segmented video is a time-based segment of video content. Enhanced segmented video is generated based on a video content cognitive index, segmentation dimensions, segmentation rules and segment reconstruction rules. The video content cognitive index is built for indexing video content. Segmentation rules are applied to the video content to break the video content into time-based segments, the time-based segments are associated with corresponding segmentation dimensions for the video content. Segment reconstruction rules are then applied to the time-based segments to reconstruct the time-based segments into enhanced segmented video. The enhanced segmented video and corresponding values of the segmentation dimensions can be leveraged as distinct portions of the video content for different types of functionality in the video management system.

Video segmentation and searching by segmentation dimensions

In various embodiments, methods and systems for implementing video segment playlist generated are provided. A video management system implements a video segment manager that supports generating video segment playlists for video content. Generating a video segment playlist is based on enhanced segmented video associated with segmentation dimensions. An enhanced segmented video is a time-based segment of video content generated based on segmentation dimensions, segmentation rules and segment reconstruction rules. The video segment manager receives a search query. The video segment manager identifies a plurality of relevant enhanced segmented videos that satisfy the search query. A selection of at least a subset of the plurality of relevant enhanced segmented videos is received to generate a video segment playlist. The video segment manager generates the video segment playlist comprising references to the subset of the plurality of relevant enhanced segmented videos. The video segment playlist comprising the references is communicated and can be used for video playback.
