Developers, listen up. Google has announced a machine learning API for automatically recognizing objects in videos & making them searchable.

At Google Cloud Next ’17,it announced products, research & education programs to “ensure machine learning is accessible to all businesses, data scientists & developers.”

Cloud Video Intelligence API (now in private beta) uses powerful deep-learning models, built using frameworks like TensorFlow & applied on large-scale media platforms like YouTube.

The API, says this article, is the 1st of its kind, enabling developers to easily search & discover video Content by providing information about entities (nouns such as “dog,” “flower” or “human” or verbs such as “run,” “swim” or “fly”) inside video Content. It can even provide contextual understanding of when those entities appear; for example, searching for “Tiger” would find all precise shots containing tigers across a video collection in Google Cloud Storage.
