Kind video_metadata

Video image metadata

Data representation

Data representation

This kind has a different internal and external representation. External representation is relevant for integration with your workflow, whereas internal one is an implementation detail useful for Workflows blocks development.

External

External data representation is relevant for Workflows clients - it dictates what is the input and output format of data.

Type: dict

Internal

Internal data representation is relevant for Workflows blocks creators - this is the type that will be provided by Execution Engine in runtime to the block that consumes input of this kind.

Type: VideoMetadata

Details

Deprecated since Execution Engine v1.2.0

inference maintainers decided to sunset video_metadata kind in favour of auxiliary metadata added to image kind.

This is representation of metadata that describe images that come from videos.
It is helpful in cases of stateful video processing, as the metadata may bring pieces of information that are required by specific blocks.

The kind has different internal end external representation. As input we support: 

{
    "video_identifier": "rtsp://some.com/stream1",
    "comes_from_video_file": False,
    "fps": 23.99,
    "measured_fps": 20.05,
    "frame_number": 24,
    "frame_timestamp": "2024-08-21T11:13:44.313999", 
}
Internally, VideoMetadata is used. If you are a Workflow block developer, we advise checking out usage guide.
