Abstract

It has been recognized that a significant increase in the production and consumption of video content occurred in the last decade. Many entertainment companies, like Globo, face challenges regarding video metadata generation. The objective of this paper is to present a suitable architecture for the Globo Group to automatically identify actors that appear in each scene of a video stream, generating new metadata annotations that can be used by recommender systems and search engines among different other applications in this industry sector.

Keywords: computer vision, face recognition, video metadata
