Abstract
The process of identifying and associating information with objects in a hyperlinked video sequence is automated by creating an accessible list of object information, including semantic representations, which updates with the identification of new objects. Because objects appear in more than one shot in many video sequences, the invention makes guesses about the identification of objects in a newly segmented sequence. If it guesses the object correctly, the author is relieved of the need to manually search a database of object information to make the association.
