Search and filter videos based on objects that appear in them using convolutional neural networks

Overview

Thingscoop: Utility for searching and filtering videos based on their content

Description

Thingscoop is a command-line utility for analyzing videos semantically - that means searching, filtering, and describing videos based on objects, places, and other things that appear in them.

When you first run thingscoop on a video file, it uses a convolutional neural network to create an "index" of what's contained in the every second of the input by repeatedly performing image classification on a frame-by-frame basis. Once an index for a video file has been created, you can search (i.e. get the start and end times of the regions in the video matching the query) and filter (i.e. create a supercut of the matching regions) the input using arbitrary queries. Thingscoop uses a very basic query language that lets you to compose queries that test for the presence or absence of labels with the logical operators ! (not), || (or) and && (and). For example, to search a video the presence of the sky and the absence of the ocean: thingscoop search 'sky && !ocean' <file>.

Right now two models are supported by thingscoop: vgg_imagenet uses the architecture described in "Very Deep Convolutional Networks for Large-Scale Image Recognition" to recognize objects from the ImageNet database, and googlenet_places uses the architecture described in "Going Deeper with Convolutions" to recognize settings and places from the MIT Places database. You can specify which model you'd like to use by running thingscoop models use <model>, where <model> is either vgg_imagenet or googlenet_places. More models will be added soon.

Thingscoop is based on Caffe, an open-source deep learning framework.

Installation

  1. Install ffmpeg, imagemagick, and ghostscript: brew install ffmpeg imagemagick ghostscript (Mac OS X) or apt-get install ffmpeg imagemagick ghostscript (Ubuntu).
  2. Follow the installation instructions on the Caffe Installation page.
  3. Make sure you build the Python bindings by running make pycaffe (on Caffe's directory).
  4. Set the environment variable CAFFE_ROOT to point to Caffe's directory: export CAFFE_ROOT=[Caffe's directory].
  5. Install thingscoop: easy_install thingscoop or pip install thingscoop.

Usage

thingscoop search <query> <files...>

Print the start and end times (in seconds) of the regions in <files> that match <query>. Creates an index for <file> using the current model if it does not exist.

####thingscoop filter <query> <files...>

Generate a video compilation of the regions in the <files> that match <query>. Creates index for <file> using the current model if it does not exist.

Example output:

thingscoop sort <file>

Create a compilation video showing examples for every label recognized in the video (in alphabetic order). Creates an index for <file> using the current model if it does not exist.

Example output:

thingscoop describe <file>

Print every label that appears in <file> along with the number of times it appears. Creates an index for <file> using the current model if it does not exist.

thingscoop preview <file>

Create a window that plays the input video <file> while also displaying the labels the model recognizes on every frame.
