MerlinAI NOMADTM for Video
No Metadata? No problem. NOMAD™ for Video knows.
The problem: The lack of descriptive metadata at the scene-level makes searching for a particular scene in video nearly impossible.
The solution: Enter NOMAD™ AI Visual Search from MerlinOne. Just describe the scene you’re seeking with natural language – even concepts – and NOMAD™ will instantly locate videos where that scene occurs, completely independent of metadata, and take you to the exact clip for playback!
NOMAD™ (NO MetAData) for Video is exclusive to MerlinOne, and is the result of four years of in-house advanced AI effort. This is video search, reimagined.


Completely independent of textual metadata.
Imagine being able to search a collection of a million images with little or no metadata and get exactly what you want–the first time. NOMAD’s transformative search technology delivers superior results based directly on the visual content of an image. NOMADTM has been trained against high-quality image content contained in millions of photos, illustrations, and documents to deliver consistent and accurate results every time. Now you can describe a scene visually and NOMADTM not only recognizes the objects, actions and even emotions you specify, but also understands your description and delivers precise results.
You describe it, NOMADTM finds it.


Bridges discrepancies between search terms and metadata.
NOMAD’s AI technology also understands language. Just like it knows to group visually similar images, it also clusters phrases of similar meaning so you no longer need to use exactly the right words in your query to get great results. Not only does NOMADTM find schooners, ketches, and yawls when you search for “sailboats”, but it understands concepts. A search for “alternative energy” returns wind turbines and solar panel arrays, and searching for “gloomy days” finds images of stormy weather and people with umbrellas. Simple as that. NOMADTM delivers what you’re looking for, regardless of whether your search terminology matches the metadata.


Reduces the need to manually add metadata.
With NOMADTM AI-Powered search, images with little or even no metadata are discoverable. By employing language pattern matches and clusters of visually similar images, NOMADTM reduces the dependency on a controlled vocabulary to effectively search images in your DAM. That means fewer hours spent developing a meticulously curated taxonomy and manually applying that metadata to get relevant search results. Now you can search with confidence knowing that if it’s there, NOMADTM will find it.
