Semantic Video Search

Hi HN, I am Anubhav from Ramanlabs. We have been working on a native gui application to allow users to search any video data( mp4, mkv) or video streams (http/rtsp) using computer vision. Application is supposed to work like a video player which displays decoded frames and recognizes objects concurrently, making it an interactive experience. It works in super real-time and only expects a quad-core CPU with AVX2 instructions at minimum. Application is free to download (without any signup/account). We are only supporting WINDOWS for now [0]. Even though this is a binary application,…

Semantic Video Search launched on November 15, 2022 with 62 votes, #996 of 3,471 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 3 years on.

In plain words

Semantic Video Search is a Windows desktop application that lets users search through video files and streams using computer vision object recognition. It works as an interactive video player that simultaneously decodes frames and identifies objects in real-time, requiring only a quad-core CPU with AVX2 support. The application is free to download without registration and contains no telemetry, making it suitable for users who want to analyze video content locally on their machines.

Made to run in super real-time natively on consumer grade hardware even for full-HD resolutions. Works on Windows and Linux. Simultaneously detect and recognize multiple objects in a single frame. Visualise and mark desired events to jump across the video timeline. Snappy video controls make this a breeze. Start recognizing objects quickly by registering objects from current video frame. Drag n Drop Just drag and drop an image from gallery to register and start tracking. Supports Video containers (mkv, mp4) and Video streams (HTTP/RTSP). Make full use of your existing video infrastructure. A Quad-core cpu with AVX2 instructions. Currently we support only x86_64 architectures. Video…from ramanlabs.in

    Hello HN Over the New Year's break, I created semanticvideosearch.com. This can search any video based on meaning and context. I would love to get your feedback on it. What should I change and what can be improved? The preprocessed videos can be search very quickly, while the youtube video links take some time (yt videos also have a upper duration limit due to compute issues). I intend to add search based on the frames of the video soon. I would love to know your thoughts on the demo and any suggestions for improvements. Thanks! PS: the inspiration to create this was to get the 2 mins of…

    I wrote this tool to get familiar with CLIP model, I know many people have written similar tools with CLIP before, but I'm new to machine learning and writing a classic tool helps my study. The unusual thing with my version is, it is in pure Node.js, with the power of node-mlx, a Node.js machine learning framework. The repo in the link is mostly about implementing indexing and CLI, the code of the model implementation lives as a Node.js module: https://github.com/frost-beta/clip . Hope this helps other learners!

    I built an open source AI video search engine to learn more about AI2023 · avse.vercel.app · ▲145

    Hi there! When Supabase announced their recent hackathon, I thought it was a good time to build something to learn more about so many of the new AI models and tech out there. From the different techniques of embedding documents to the future RAG. With the rise of short form content with TikTok and Youtube. A lot more knowledge is in videos than ever before. Finding specific answers within millions of videos can be difficult for any one person to go through. So the question is if there is Google that indexes text on website making it easier to find based on the context of on your question,…

  • I made a thing! In 2014, I was holding a stack of iPhones and thought to myself: "Hey, if I had each phone display a playing card, I could click a button and they'd shuffle themselves" I pared that idea all the way down to this: trading cards made of e-ink displays. Right now, each card costs me about $20 each, but with only a bit more scale, I think I can get that down to $10. In doing this project, I learned how to design electronics and circuit boards. I learned Rust and wrote my first driver, I upped my CAD skills, 3D printed, and did my first resin casting. I generated the images on the…
