Scenes-with-text Detection (v7.5)

About this version

About this app (See raw metadata.json)

Detects scenes with text, like slates, chyrons and credits. This app can run in three modes, depending on useClassifier, useStitcher parameters. When useClassifier=True, it runs in the “TimePoint mode” and generates TimePoint annotations. When useStitcher=True, it runs in the “TimeFrame mode” and generates TimeFrame annotations based on existing TimePoint annotations – if no TimePoint is found, it produces an error. By default, it runs in the ‘both’ mode and first generates TimePoint annotations and then TimeFrame annotations on them.

Inputs

(Note: “*” as a property value means that the property is required but can be any value.)

Configurable Parameters

(Note: Multivalued means the parameter can have one or more values.)

  • useClassifier: optional, defaults to true

    • Type: boolean
    • Multivalued: False
    • Choices: false, true

    Use the image classifier model to generate TimePoint annotations.

  • tpModelName: optional, defaults to convnext_small

    • Type: string
    • Multivalued: False
    • Choices: convnext_small, convnext_tiny, convnext_lg

    Model name to use for classification, only applies when useClassifier=true.

  • tpUsePosModel: optional, defaults to true

    • Type: boolean
    • Multivalued: False
    • Choices: false, true

    Use the model trained with positional features, only applies when useClassifier=true.

  • tpStartAt: optional, defaults to 0

    • Type: integer
    • Multivalued: False

    Number of milliseconds into the video to start processing, only applies when useClassifier=true.

  • tpStopAt: optional, defaults to 9223372036854775807

    • Type: integer
    • Multivalued: False

    Number of milliseconds into the video to stop processing, only applies when useClassifier=true.

  • tpSampleRate: optional, defaults to 1000

    • Type: integer
    • Multivalued: False

    Milliseconds between sampled frames, only applies when useClassifier=true.

  • useStitcher: optional, defaults to true

    • Type: boolean
    • Multivalued: False
    • Choices: false, true

    Use the stitcher after classifying the TimePoints.

  • tfMinTPScore: optional, defaults to 0.5

    • Type: number
    • Multivalued: False

    Minimum score for a TimePoint to be included in a TimeFrame. A lower value will include more TimePoints in the TimeFrame (increasing recall in exchange for precision). Only applies when useStitcher=true.

  • tfMinTFScore: optional, defaults to 0.9

    • Type: number
    • Multivalued: False

    Minimum score for a TimeFrame. A lower value will include more TimeFrames in the output (increasing recall in exchange for precision). Only applies when useStitcher=true

  • tfMinTFDuration: optional, defaults to 5000

    • Type: integer
    • Multivalued: False

    Minimum duration of a TimeFrame in milliseconds, only applies when useStitcher=true.

  • tfAllowOverlap: optional, defaults to false

    • Type: boolean
    • Multivalued: False
    • Choices: false, true

    Allow overlapping time frames, only applies when useStitcher=true

  • tfDynamicSceneLabels: optional, defaults to ['credit', 'credits']

    • Type: string
    • Multivalued: True

    Labels that are considered dynamic scenes. For dynamic scenes, TimeFrame annotations contains multiple representative points to follow any changes in the scene. Only applies when useStitcher=true

  • tfLabelMap: optional, defaults to []

    • Type: map
    • Multivalued: True

    (See also tfLabelMapPreset, set tfLabelMapPreset=nopreset to make sure that a preset does not override tfLabelMap when using this) Mapping of a label in the input TimePoint annotations to a new label of the stitched TimeFrame annotations. Must be formatted as IN_LABEL:OUT_LABEL (with a colon). To pass multiple mappings, use this parameter multiple times. When two+ TP labels are mapped to a TF label, it essentially works as a “binning” operation. If no mapping is used, all the input labels are passed-through, meaning no change in both TP & TF labelsets. However, when at least one label is mapped, all the other “unset” labels are mapped to the negative label (-) and if - does not exist in the TF labelset, it is added automatically. Only applies when useStitcher=true.

  • tfLabelMapPreset: optional, defaults to relaxed

    • Type: string
    • Multivalued: False
    • Choices: noprebin, nomap, strict, simpler, simple, relaxed, binary-bars, binary-slate, binary-chyron-strict, binary-chyron-relaxed, binary-credits, nopreset

    (See also tfLabelMap) Preset alias of a label mapping. If not nopreset, this parameter will override the tfLabelMap parameter. Available presets are:
