Video data curation in computer vision is crucial for optimizing machine learning model performance, reducing noise, and improving generalization. It involves collecting, organizing, and preparing raw video data to ensure it represents a wide range of scenarios, environments, and edge cases. This process requires various techniques such as scene cut detection, optical flow, synthetic captioning, text overlay detection with OCR, and CLIP-based scoring for assessing relevance. Effective curation also considers factors like descriptive metadata, long-term accessible formats, copyright, data volume, video format, and software compatibility to ensure the preservation and accessibility of valuable video assets. By understanding and applying these principles, developers can unlock the full potential of video data for computer vision applications, streamlining the development of robust models and ensuring the long-term value of their video assets.
