Patented Search and Indexing Technology
Digitalsmiths has over a dozen patents in the ability to automatically create metadata and correlate it to exact moments - at the scene level within a video. By processing each frame of video using proprietary algorithms such as facial recognition, scene classification, speech recognition, natural language processing, closed-caption time alignment and ad break detection, Digitalsmiths can deliver metadata tracks in a unique, frame level, metadata management platform of intelligent video tags. The resulting metadata becomes the foundation for a highly scalable and powerful search experience across large video libraries.
