“…The Distant Viewing Toolkit addresses these needs by (1) constructing an object-oriented framework for applying a collection of algorithms to moving images, (2) packaging together common sound and computer vision algorithms in order to provide out-of-the-box functionality for common tasks in the computational analysis of moving images, and (3) allowing video files alongside still images as an input. Currently provided algorithms include functionality for: shot detection (Pal et al, 2015), object detection (Li, Zhao, & Zhang, 2018), face detection (Jiang & Learned-Miller, 2017), face identification (Cao, Shen, Xie, Parkhi, & Zisserman, 2018), color analysis (Karasek, Burget, Uher, Masek, & Dutta, 2015), image similarity (Szegedy, Ioffe, Vanhoucke, & Alemi, 2017), optical flow (Farnebäck, 2003), and shot distance analysis (Butler, 2012).…”
