Video description system and method
First Claim
1. A system for generating a description record from video information, comprising:
- at least one video input interface for receiving said video information;
a computer processor coupled to said at least one video input interface for receiving said video information therefrom, processing said video information by performing video object extraction processing to generate video object descriptions from said video information, processing said generated video object descriptions by object hierarchy construction and extraction processing to generate video object hierarchy descriptions, and processing said generated video object descriptions by entity relation graph generation processing to generate entity relation graph descriptions, wherein at least one description record including said video object descriptions, said video object hierarchy descriptions and said entity relation graph descriptions is generated to represent content embedded within said video information; and
a data storage system, operatively coupled to said processor, for storing said at least one description records;
wherein said video object extraction processing and said object hierarchy construction and extraction processing are performed in parallel.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a system for generating a description record from multimedia information including, e.g., video data. A multimedia information input interface is used to receive multimedia information. A computer processor receives the multimedia information, processes the video information by performing video object extraction processing to generate video object descriptions from the video information, processes the generated video object descriptions by object hierarchy construction and extraction processing to generate video object hierarchy descriptions, and processes the generated video object descriptions by entity relation graph descriptions.
