Vu Digital's latest product is its Video-to-Data (V2D) technology and associated Vu Finder. The V2D service uses predictive analytics, natural language processing, face recognition, object recognition, and audio/image detection to extract metadata from video including transcripts of the audio, and time-tagged references to screen text and appearances of persons or images of interest, such as objects or logos. Vu Finder can then be used to search this extracted metadata to find the associated video.
