Abstract
Technologies are disclosed for efficiently identifying objects in videos using deep neural networks and motion information. Using the disclosed technologies, the amount of time required to identify objects in videos can be greatly reduced. Motion information for a video, such as motion vectors, are extracted during the encoding or decoding of the video. The motion information is used to determine whether there is sufficient motion between frames of the video to warrant performing object detection on the frames. If there is insufficient movement from one frame to a subsequent frame, the subsequent frame will not be processed to identify objects contained therein. In this way, object detection will not be performed on video frames that have changed minimally as compared to a previous frame, thereby reducing the amount of time and the number of processing operations required to identify the objects in the video.
