Update or Remove Objects and Databases

To update or remove an object use the following actions:

  • To complete training for all objects that exist in the Media Server database but have incomplete training, use the action BuildAllObjects. To confirm that training was successful, use the action ListObjects (see List the Objects in a Database).
  • To add additional training images to an object, use the action AddObjectImages. Media Server does not use the new images for object detection until you run the action BuildObject. To confirm that training was successful, use the action ListObjects (see List the Objects in a Database).
  • To remove a training image from an object, use the action RemoveObjectImages.
  • To modify the training options for an object, use the actions SetObjectTrainingOption and UnsetObjectTrainingOption.
  • To change the label of an image that you added to an object, use the action RelabelObjectImage.
  • To move an image of an object from one object to another, for example if you add an image to the wrong object, use the action MoveObjectImage.
  • To add, remove, or update custom metadata for an object, use the actions AddObjectMetadata, RemoveObjectMetadata, and UpdateObjectMetadata.
  • To change the identifier of an object you added to an object database, use the action RenameObject.
  • To move an object to a different database, use the action MoveObject.
  • To remove an object from a database and discard all associated images and metadata, use the action RemoveObject.

To update or remove object databases, use the following actions:

  • To rename an object database, use the action RenameObjectDatabase.
  • To delete an object database and all of the information that it contains, use the action RemoveObjectDatabase.

For more information about the actions that you can use to train Media Server, refer to the Media Server Reference.
