Making a film color DNA #169

Open brucemcpherson opened 1 month ago

Some time ago I described how to use the Video Intelligence (VI) API to create the 'dna' of a film by using VI labels. You can then use these fingerprints to find films that are likely to be copies, or similar to other films. We did a Totally Unscripted show a couple of years ago to describe the technique. You can see the video here.

In this post I'll show another technique to create a different kind of DNA which not only can enhance film disambiguation by content using VI labels, but can also be used to find films that are similar in the shots - color is often used to set the atmosphere or feel of a film, so we can find films that share an atmosphere in a more subtle way than simply comparing content. This article is limited to showing how to create color 'strips' of a film. I'll do another later to show how these strips can be compared with each other for similarities.
