What is Video Labeling?
Video labeling is the process of assigning tags or categories to entire video clips or specific scenes. For example, labeling a clip as “sports,” “traffic,” or “surveillance footage.” This helps AI models understand the context or content of the video as a whole.
What is Video Annotation?
Video annotation involves marking and tracking specific objects or events across frames. This can include:
Bounding boxes that follow objects over time (object tracking)
Event tagging (e.g., “car turns left,” “person waves”)
Action recognition (e.g., “running,” “jumping”)
Both are essential for training AI in applications like self-driving cars, video surveillance, sports analytics, and behavior analysis.

DeeLab Academy combines theoretical knowledge with hands-on exercises and examples, equipping participants to confidently apply their skills in professional settings.
Use Cases
Video labeling is crucial for tasks such as action recognition, object tracking, video captioning, and video surveillance.
Action recognition is used in surveillance and security for detecting suspicious activities, in sports analysis to analyze player movements, in healthcare for patient rehabilitation monitoring, in human-computer interaction for gesture-based interfaces, and in autonomous vehicles to predict pedestrian actions.
Object tracking is applied in video surveillance to track suspicious individuals, in autonomous vehicles to follow surrounding vehicles and obstacles, in sports broadcasting for highlighting player movements, and in robotics for tracking objects during pick-and-place tasks.
Video captioning is used in video-sharing platforms for automatically generating subtitles, in news broadcasting for providing real-time captions, in educational settings to support accessibility, and in video analysis for generating textual descriptions of video content.
Video surveillance is employed in various scenarios, including public safety, traffic management, retail security, industrial monitoring, and home security. It helps prevent crime, monitor critical areas, gather evidence, ensure compliance, and enhance overall security and safety measures.
Techniques
Video labeling includes bounding boxes for tracking, temporal annotations for action recognition, and event annotations for activity recognition.
Bounding box annotation is a technique used in computer vision to draw rectangular boxes around objects in images or videos. It helps train AI models to recognize and locate objects accurately, enhancing their performance in various applications like object detection and tracking. This precise annotation enables businesses to leverage AI for improved decision-making and automation.
Temporal annotation refers to the process of annotating or labeling data that has a temporal or time-based component. This type of annotation is commonly used in various domains, including computer vision, natural language processing, audio analysis, and other time-series data.
Event annotation refers to the process of labeling or annotating data to identify and mark specific events or occurrences of interest within the data. Events can be anything from actions, activities, behaviors, changes, or any significant incident or pattern that takes place in the data. The goal of event annotation is to identify and record these events, making it easier for machines to understand and process the data for various applications.
Challenges
Video labeling is complex due to the need to track objects or events across frames. Tools with frame-by-frame annotations and playback features are beneficial.
Temporal video data differs from static images because it contains a sequence of frames that capture a continuous stream of visual information. Each frame in the video represents a specific moment in time, and the consecutive frames together create a dynamic representation of events, actions, or scenes.
The objective of object tracking across frames is to locate the target object(s) consistently throughout the video sequence, even as the objects move, change appearance, or occlude (partially or fully hidden) by other elements in the scene. This continuous tracking provides valuable information for various applications, such as surveillance, robotics, autonomous vehicles, and action recognition.
