Video call and video conferencing has been a hot topic used by billions of users around the glob. The biggestthing going for mobile messaging applications is the sheer user base, over a billion monthly active usersworldwide. nandbox Inc. has developed innovative technologies for messaging communication platforms andInternet of Things (IoT) applications. nandbox is continuously developing new technologies to both expandtheir current offerings. nandbox has successfully released their text and voice messaging platform used alreadyby over a million subscribers worldwide. nandbox recently released their video call feature which completestheir messaging offerings. However, nandbox is looking to develop a new innovative video communication tocomplete their innovative proprietary messaging platform.To enhance its product using its own proprietary messaging platform, nandbox urgently requires the ability toprovide rich live video communication experience with real-time content analysis and processing to targetmessaging video calls and conferencing at an affordable, integrated, scalable software solution. The solutionwill include the automated extraction of metadata (e.g., detection of all objects including moving objects, faces,visual similarity) for use in video calls to increase user experience. This innovative solution will differentiatenandbox from its competitors and enlarge the number of subscribers in the next couple of years. This will opena whole section of innovation in video processing used in mobile messaging platforms, where nandbox will bewell positioned and ahead of any competition.The project will be conducted at UQO by Dr. Ahmed Lakhssassi. In addition to contributing to the training oftwo graduate students and one professional, this research will promote the development of Canadian industryby aiding nandbox in creating new processes, by developing new expertise in real-time video processingapplied to mobile massaging platform that can directly translate to increased sales and improved productpositioning. nandbox seeks to grow and dominate the $2.72 Billion market in 2018.

视频通话和视频会议已经成为全球数十亿用户使用的热门话题。移动通讯应用最大的优势在于其庞大的用户基础，全球每月活跃用户超过10亿。nandbox公司为消息传递平台和物联网（IoT）应用开发了创新技术。Nandbox正在不断开发新技术，以扩大其现有产品。Nandbox已经成功发布了他们的文本和语音信息平台，全球已有超过100万用户使用。Nandbox最近发布了他们的视频通话功能，完善了他们的消息服务。然而，nandbox正在寻求开发一种新的创新视频通信，以完成他们创新的专有消息传递平台。为了使用其专有的消息平台来增强其产品，nandbox迫切需要能够提供丰富的实时视频通信体验，实时内容分析和处理，以一种经济、集成、可扩展的软件解决方案来实现目标消息视频通话和会议。该解决方案将包括自动提取元数据（例如，检测所有物体，包括移动物体、人脸、视觉相似性），用于视频通话，以提高用户体验。这种创新的解决方案将使andbox与竞争对手区别开来，并在未来几年内扩大用户数量。这将为移动信息平台的视频处理开辟一个全新的领域，nandbox将在这一领域处于有利地位，领先于任何竞争对手。该项目将由Ahmed Lakhssassi博士在UQO进行。除了有助于培训两名研究生和一名专业人员外，这项研究还将通过帮助nandbox创建新流程，通过开发应用于移动按摩平台的实时视频处理的新专业知识，直接转化为增加销售和改善产品定位，从而促进加拿大工业的发展。nandbox寻求在2018年增长并主导27.2亿美元的市场。
