Theory of Active Perception (TAPe)
A new information processing method that describes the way the human brain perceives information.
About Theory
Theory of Active Perception, TAPe, describes the way the human brain perceives information. It suggests a new information processing method that could be applied in a wide variety of areas.
We are already developing technologies that can be used to build recognition algorithms for any image in any class without both prior learning and prior tasking. Learning will be happening while the recognition process is underway, as it happens to people.
But TAPe, as a new information processing method, can be applied outside computer vision technology as well. New principles of building both neural network and computer processor architecture might be possible.
Upload a video fragment or enter a link to it, and we will find the video you want on a TV channel. In demo mode, you can only do the search on a few world’s most popular TV channels (the list is never the same) for the last 2 weeks. You will also be able to view the fragment of a TV airing where your video was found. If you want any other TV channel or you have other—but similar—tasks related to reverse video search, please fill out the form.

Search by video on YouTube
Upload a video fragment or enter a link to it, and we will find the video you want on YouTube while giving you the exact links. In demo mode, you can only do the search across YouTube video presets compiled by us and falling under different topics (the list is constantly expanded). You will be able to watch the ready-made video presets and follow YouTube links to where we found your video fragment. If we failed to find your video or you have other—but similar—tasks related to reverse video search, please fill out the form
Video search and comparison technology using videos that is not conditional upon audio tracks, watermark usage, hash functions, text analysis etc.
The TAPe-based technology allows for both compact and distortion-resistant video indexes irrespectively of the original video stream format and type. It does not require advanced hardware and enables users to build, compare, and search by index in real time and with high accuracy using regular equipment. All of that provides effective solutions for a large task class involving media asset management, as well as asset protection and monitoring.

Theory of Active Perception
TAPe opens up new technological oppotunities that can be referred to as a new way of processing information. Science has not yet fully explained what exact processes happen in the brain and how, and information perception is one of them. Unlike computers, people do not have to do complex calculations to determine, for example, a ball flight trajectory in order to catch the ball—our brain is able to do it without resorting to calculations. In reality, the human brain does not use the maths we are accustomed to—and, most likely, it does not use any maths at all, but has other processes underway instead. And TAPe describes for the first time at least part of those processes. At the very least, this allows creating recognition technology that models the way the human brain works—and achieves the same effectiveness—even as we speak.
How technology works
A new information technology for image processing that is based on modeling natural mechanisms of visual perception:
Generation of original description
Complete elimination of interference dependence
Spatial differentiation, determination of structural connections
Сreating a pictorial description in the form of mental image
Сomparison of pictorial description with a reference or creating a new one
