feat: add estimation of explosion time, if applicable to video/audio archived #108

Closed msramalho closed 2 months ago

msramalho commented 7 months ago

There's a cool new tool https://github.com/davidnewschool/sound-delay which should be tested with some examples and if proven reliable can be added as an enhancer. The idea is if a video/audio is present and it shows a pattern of explosion(s) we can use this sound delay tool to estimate the distance of the explosion... it could be significant for geolocating the video.

The script relies on a lot of manual steps rather than slick integration.

Two limitations right now:

  1. Hard to automatically detect whether there's an explosion in the video/audio, could be worked on
  2. Hard to know without visual aid when and how many times explosions are shows

for that I feel this is not sufficiently matured to be integrated.

Keeping the issue open for inviting comments.
