Google Cloud Video Intelligence
Google Cloud Video Intelligence is a cloud API that analyzes stored and streaming video and returns metadata for content discovery and video applications. Metadata can be extracted at video, shot, or frame level, and Google says its models recognize over 20,000 objects, places, and actions. Documented functions include label and shot-change detection, explicit-content detection, and face, logo, object, and person detection, as well as speech and text recognition. Streaming annotation can provide near real-time insights and support event triggers based on objects. Google lists content moderation, recommendations, searchable media archives, and contextual ad placement as use cases. Client libraries and a command-line quickstart support programmatic access. Each listed feature has its first 1,000 minutes per month free for both stored and streaming annotation; partial minutes round up. Beyond that amount, rates vary by feature and annotation type. Pricing is listed from $0.05, and a free trial is available. Other Google Cloud resources used by a project may incur separate charges. Celebrity recognition is a restricted-access feature.
