Abstract
The technology described herein is directed to systems, methods, and software for indexing video. In an implementation, a method comprises identifying one or more regions of interest around target content in a frame of the video. Further, the method includes identifying, in a portion of the frame outside a region of interest, potentially empty regions adjacent to the region of interest. The method continues with identifying at least one empty region of the potentially empty regions that satisfies one or more criteria and classifying at least the one empty region as a negative sample of the target content. In some implementations, the negative sample of the target content in a set of negative samples of the target content, with which to train a machine learning model employed to identify instances of the target content.
