Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: identifying, by a first computing device, a sequence of video frames for which an object exists in at least one video frame of the sequence of video frames, wherein the sequence of video frames is included in a plurality of video frames of a video; identifying, by the first computing device, a set of error values associated with consecutive pairs of video frames of the sequence of video frames, each error value of the set of error values being associated with a respective deviation from the existence of the object in the sequence of video frames; determining, by the first computing device, whether an error value of the set of error values exceeds a threshold error value; responsive to determining that the error value of the set of error values exceeds the threshold error value, determining, by the first computing device, that the consecutive pair of video frames associated with the error value represents a sequence transition; identifying, by the first computing device and based on the sequence transition, a segment of the sequence of video frames in which the object exists; determining, by the first computing device, an interpolation function associated with the existence of the object in the segment of the sequence of video frames, wherein the interpolation function specifies a time domain of the video in which the interpolation function is valid; and transmitting, by the first computing device and to a second computing device separate from the first computing device, the video, an indication of the object, and an indication of the interpolation function.
