Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to a method, system and related devices for annotating an object in a multimedia asset, where the multimedia asset comprises at least one image. The method comprises the steps of first determining a category of the object in an image of the multimedia asset by means of classifying the object and subsequently selecting based on the category of the object an appropriate object detector model from at least one object detector model associated with said category. Thereafter a location of the object in the image of the multimedia asset is determined based on the object detector model that is selected, where the object detector model corresponds to the object which step is followed by segmenting the object detected in the image of the multimedia asset based on the location of the object within the said image and optionally based on the object detector. Finally, the object within the image being segmented is annotated with a hyperlink.
