Abstract
A method of searching video content for specific subject matter of interest augments traditional image data analysis methods with analysis of contemporaneously gathered non-image data. One application involves video recordings of medical procedures performed using a medical device. When a user desires to locate portions of video recordings showing a medical event of interest, one or more medical device system events likely to correspond to the occurrence of the medical event of interest are identified from one or more procedure event logs. Timestamps associated with these system events are used to identify candidate video clips from the procedure video recordings. Image data analysis is performed on the candidate video clips to determine whether each candidate video clip contains the medical event of interest.
