Searching and ranking of code in videos

A computerized apparatus comprising a processor and a non-transient memory, the non-transient memory having stored thereon program code for execution by said processor, the program code comprising:

• a video receiving component for receiving a multiplicity of videos from a source;
• a meta data receiving component for receiving meta data related to each video;
• a frame extraction component for extracting from the video a video frame containing computer code;
• a frame analysis component for identifying a region of interest (ROI) within the video frame;
• and
• an OCR engine for performing optical character recognition (OCR) of the ROI to extract code segment;
• a semantic analysis component for semantically analyzing the code segment to obtain a first rank;
• a structural analysis component for structurally analyzing the code segment to obtain a second rank;
• a meta data analysis component for analyzing the meta data to obtain a third rank;
• a ranking component for combining the first rank, second rank and third rank into a total rank associated with the code segment;
• a query receiving component for receiving a query;
• a query matching component for matching the query to each code segment to identify matching code segments and associated videos;
• and
• a result providing component for providing the associated videos in accordance with total ranks associated with the matching code segments.

A computer program product for providing a video in response to a query, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code executable by at least one hardware processor to:

• receive a video from a source;
• receive meta data related to the video;
• extract from the video a video frame containing computer code;
• identify a region of interest (ROI) within the video frame;
• perform optical character recognition (OCR) of the ROI to extract a code segment;
• analyze the code segment, comprising:
• (a) semantically analyze the code segment to obtain a first rank,
• (b) structurally analyze the code segment to obtain a second rank, and
• (c) analyze the meta data to obtain a third rank;
• combine the first rank, second rank and third rank into a total rank associated with the code segment;
• receive a query;
• match the query to each code segment to identify matching code segments and associated videos;
• and
• provide the associated videos in accordance with total ranks associated with the matching code segments.
