Abstract

The aim of this article is to describe an open-source application (Vifeco) that makes it possible to manually identify features on a video. Vifeco also allows to: manage the number of users, create a category (feature) and a collection of categories, read video and identify the features on it, and analyze the counting concordance between two users. Written in Java 11 with the JavaFX UI toolkit, Vifeco is a stand-alone, multiplatform (Windows, Mac and Linux) and multi-language (3 languages supported) application. The software is available under Apache Licence on GitHub ( https://github.com/LAEQ/vifeco ).
