Cultural Analysis of Moving Images
Project description
The Distant TV Toolkit is a Python module designed to facilitate the computational analysis of visual culture. It contains low-level architecture for applying state-of-the-art computer vision algorithms to still and moving images. The higher-level functionality of the toolkit allows users to quickly extract semantic metadata from digitized collections. Extracted information can be visualized for search and discovery or aggregated and analyzed to find patterns across a corpus.
