ABSTRACT:
An interactive video system by which an operator is able to select an object moving in a video sequence and by which the interactive video system is notified which object was selected so as to take appropriate action. Interactive video is achieved through generation and use of video object descriptors which are synchronized to objects in the video sequence. Video object descriptors are generated by a generating tool which decomposes frames of video sequences and tracks movement of objects in those frames so as to generate a frame sequential file of video object descriptors. The file of video object descriptors are then used by an event interpreter which detects a match between the position of a pointing device on a display containing the video sequence and the position of a video object descriptor. When a match is detected, an interactive video operation is performed, such as jumping to a new video sequence, altering flow of the interactive video program or the like.
