Pattern Recognition Company updates Excire Foto 2027

Pattern Recognition Company (PRC), based in Lübeck, has released a free autumn update for its Excire Foto 2027 software. The update introduces enhanced AI-driven search capabilities specifically designed for video archives.

Previously, video searching was limited by the use of a single preview image. The new video indexing feature analyzes multiple frames within a single recording to identify various motifs and situations. The AI examines these frames, selects key images, and applies relevant keywords to the entire video file. This allows users to find specific, short sequences, such as a dancing couple or a specific animal, within much longer recordings.

Users can manage these results through an expanded video player, where they can verify captured frames, mark additional relevant frames, or remove existing ones. Key images can also be exported as independent files. Additionally, the update includes inverse geocoding, which converts GPS coordinates into readable geographic information like city or region names within the IPTC metadata.
