Google has come up with the latest weapon in its cache of search tools in a conference on Sunday.
It comes in the form of a Video Intelligence API which will allow developers to work on applications that can automatically extract entities from a video.
“In simple words, or a group of videos as well.”
For example, you can search for simple nouns like “dog,” “flower” or “human” or verbs such as “run,” “swim” or “fly”, and it will quickly pull up a list of results relevant to your query.
Currently, it is only limited to developers, large media organisations and consumer technology companies, who want to build their media catalogues or find easy ways to manage crowd-sourced content.
Google’s image search tools have been around for quite some time. Anyone can upload their photos to Google’s cloud-based Google Photos and search for objects or texts inside images, but this is the first time they have unveiled something for searching inside videos.
