VARS Description

An useful application that helps describing, cataloging, and viewing the visual, descriptive, and quantitative data associated with videos VARS (Video Annotation and Reference System) is a software interface and database system that provides tools for describing, cataloging, retrieving, and viewing the visual, descriptive, and quantitative data associated with video. Developed by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) for annotating deep-sea video data, VARS is currently being used to describe over 3000 dives by our remotely operated vehicles (ROV). VARS has allowed MBARI scientists to produce numerous quanititative and qualitative scientific publications based on video data.VARS can be used to annotate video from either VCRs that support RS422 control or movie files, such as QuickTime and AVI movies.VARS is a suite of 3 applications: Knowledge-base, Annotation, and Query. All three applications are written in Java and have been tested on Macs and Windows PCs.
