Abstract:
1. A method for generating metadata comprising information about artifacts detected in a digitized film, the method comprising: splitting the metadata generation into a plurality of processing tasks; allocating two or more processing tasks of the plurality of processing tasks to two or more independent processing nodes in a network, wherein each processing task is allocated to a different processing node; receiving an acknowledgement from each of the two or more processing nodes when a defined timeframe has expired or the respective processing node is finished executing its respective assigned processing task, wherein each acknowledgement contains an entry for a progress of the respective processing task and a current processing speed of the respective processing node; calculating for each processing node a performance value from the entry in each respective acknowledgement, wherein a size of a processing task allocated to a processing node is determined from the performance value of that processing node and a predefined timeframe for executing the processing task on that processing node at the current processing speed; gathering metadata generated by the two or more processing nodes; and visualizing the gathered metadata on an output unit.
