Establishing the Standard in Video Truthing
Verideo™ is a software tool for truthing and annotating video imagery (specifying an object's location, size, orientation, and other metadata).
Verideo provides several intelligent tracking methods to greatly speed the truthing process. It allows you to define a target in one frame, then simply run the automated tracking tool to define that target in all subsequent frames.
Truthing video with Verideo is up to an order of magnitude faster than existing methods and makes it possible to benefit from all of the video data you collect.
ProblemDevelopers of computer vision systems – such as object detection, recognition, and tracking – always need “image truth” reference data for evaluating their systems’ accuracy and performance. This has traditionally been done by hand. For each object in every image, one must specify object location, size, orientation, and associated metadata. However, a video camera collects over 100,000 image frames per hour, and evaluating smart video processing systems requires tens or hundreds of hours of truthed video. Current techniques for generating image truth are far too labor intensive and error prone to handle such vast amounts of image data. |
