SALSA

We have developed a semi-automated extension to ASAP that is now being productized for use by postproduction professionals and archivists. Called SALSA (Semi-Automated Logging with Semantic Annotation) [*], the system also provides the foundation for future research in metadata extraction during ingest of archival media.

The picture below is a reduced-resolution screenshot of SALSA. Thumbnails at the bottom show keyframes of shots extracted by ASAP; the left-hand text box contains automatically-extracted movement logging with the right-hand text box available for stenographic annotations. All the upper half of the window is given over to previewing and shot manipulation.
