Abstract:
1. A method for providing interactive video content including a plurality of frames, the method comprising: executing an automatic face detection algorithm on video data of a first subset of the plurality of frames to detect a face in the video content; executing a face tracking algorithm to define a track of the face through multiple frames of the video content by analyzing video characteristics of the video content, wherein the track includes a first set of faces detected by the automatic face detection algorithm in the first subset of frames and a second set of faces not detected by the automatic face detection algorithm in a second subset of frames; selecting a sample face from the first set of faces and the second set of faces in a frame of the video data to represent the track of the face; executing an automatic face recognition algorithm on the sample face to identify the sample face belongs to a specific person; configuring at least one user-selectable link to be activated for the first set of faces and the second set of faces along the track of the face through multiple frames of the video data based on the identifying of a person for the sample face, wherein the user-selectable link comprises a data address for obtaining additional information about the person identified with the face; and storing the video data associated with the user-selectable link in a computer memory.
