Video to data

A method to generate data from a video, comprising:

• segmenting the video into video segments;
• extracting an audio file from a segment of the video segments;
• extracting a video frame file of still frames from the segment;
• detecting an image of an object in the still frames;
• recognizing the object as a specific object;
• updating an object-specific fractal with the image;
• and
• embedding metadata in the video about the specific object.

A system for generating data from a video, comprising:

• a coordinator communicatively coupled to a splitter and to a plurality of demultiplexer nodes, wherein the splitter is configured to segment the video, wherein the demultiplexer nodes are configured to extract audio files from the video and to extract still frame images from the video;
• an image detector configured to detect images of objects in the still frame images;
• an object recognizer configured to compare an object image of an object to a fractal, wherein the recognizer is further configured to update the fractal with the object image;
• and
• wherein the coordinator is configured to generate one or more metadata streams corresponding to the images, wherein the one or more metadata streams include timestamps corresponding to the images, and wherein the coordinator is configured to embed the metadata streams in the video.

A method of creating data from a video by machine recognition, comprising:

• extracting an audio file from the video;
• segmenting the video into video frames of still images;
• distributing the video segments to N processors, wherein N is an integer greater than one;
• generating a timestamped transcript from the audio file;
• associating the timestamped transcript with corresponding video frames;
• deriving topics from the audio file based on natural language processing;
• recognizing an object from still images;
• using a reference database to identify the object;
• and
• embedding, within the video, data based on a recognized object, the topics, and the timestamped transcript.
