Abstract

A data-enhanced video viewing system scans videos in order to detect and extract certain objects, such as human faces, so as to compile non-time based synopses, including 'facelines' of people appearing in the video sequence. It can also provide a time-based synopsis that includes timestamps for all detected objects. The data-enhanced video viewing system can be deployed on a network for a client to request data extraction on one or more designated videos. The designated video may be one of those that have been uploaded to social networks, uploaded to online video hosting sites, streamed over the Internet or other network, or uploaded directly by the user.
