Abstract
There are provided media asset tagging systems and method. Such a system includes a hardware processor, and a system memory storing a workflow management software code including a tagging application template and a multi-contributor synthesis module. The hardware processor executes the workflow management software code to provide a workflow management interface, to receive a media asset identification data and a workflow rules data, and to generate custom tagging applications based on the workflow rules data. The hardware processor further executes the workflow management software code to receive tagging data for the media asset, determine at least a first constraint for tagging the media asset, receive additional tagging data for, and determine at least a second constraint for tagging the media asset. The media asset is then tagged based on the tagging data and the additional tagging data, subject to the constraints.
Background
BACKGROUND
The extraction of descriptive metadata sufficient to characterize a media asset, such as a feature film or animation, for example, often requires the participation of human contributors having specialized knowledge. In addition, some of the metadata relied on to characterize a media asset may be extracted by automated processes, such as those using facial or object recognition software. Although tools for enabling collaboration among human contributors exist, those conventional tools are typically designed to passively process the inputs provided by each individual contributor. There remains a need for a solution enabling workflow management for the efficient extraction and synthesis of metadata for characterizing a media asset from a combination of automated and human sources.SUMMARY
There are provided systems and methods for media asset tagging, substantially as shown in and/or described in connection with at least one of the figures, and as set forth more completely in the claims.
Claims
1. A media asset tagging system comprising: a hardware processor; a system memory having stored therein a workflow management software code including a tagging application template and a multi-contributor synthesis module; wherein the hardware processor is configured to execute the workflow management software code to: provide a workflow management interface; receive a media asset identification data and a workflow rules data via the workflow management interface; generate, using the tagging application template, a plurality of custom tagging applications based on the workflow rules data; receive a first tagging data for the media asset; determine at least a first constraint for tagging the media asset based on the first tagging data; receive an additional tagging data for the media asset; determine at least a second constraint for tagging the media asset based on the additional tagging data; tag the media asset, using the multi-contributor synthesis module, based on the first tagging data and the additional tagging data, subject to the at least first constraint and the at least second constraint.
11. A method for use by a media asset tagging system including a hardware processor and a system memory having a tagging application template and a multi-contributor synthesis module stored therein, the method comprising: providing, using the hardware processor, a workflow management interface; receiving, via the workflow management interface, a media asset identification data and a workflow rules data; generating, using the tagging application template executed by the hardware processor, a plurality of custom tagging applications based on the workflow rules data; receiving, using the hardware processor, a first tagging data for the media asset; determining, using the hardware processor, at least a first constraint for tagging the media asset based on the first tagging data; receiving, using the hardware processor, an additional tagging data for the media asset; determining, using the hardware processor, at least a second constraint for tagging the media asset based on the additional tagging data; tagging the media asset, using the multi-contributor synthesis module executed by the hardware processor, based on the first tagging data and the additional tagging data, subject to the at least first constraint and the at least second constraint.
