The Semantic Video Annotation Suite (SVAS) enables film analysts to efficiently annotate video footage. The tool provides several automatic feature extraction methods which support the user with annotation and navigation. The most innovative automatic module included as a plug-in into SVAS is an object recognition and search tool based on Difference-of-Gaussian local key points and computed SIFT descriptors as local low-level features for every frame in the video. This allows the recognition of specific objects in the whole video.
