Video call and video conferencing has been a hot topic used by billions of users around the globe. The biggest**thing going for mobile messaging applications is the sheer user base, over a billion monthly active users**worldwide. nandbox Inc. has developed innovative technologies for messaging communication platforms and**Internet of Things (IoT) applications. nandbox is continuously developing new technologies to both expand**their current offerings. nandbox has successfully released their text and voice messaging platform used already**by over a million subscribers worldwide. nandbox recently released their video call feature which completes**their messaging offerings. However, nandbox is looking to develop a new innovative video communication to**complete their innovative proprietary messaging platform.**To enhance its product using its own proprietary messaging platform, nandbox urgently requires the ability to**provide rich live video communication experience with real-time content analysis and processing to target**messaging video calls and conferencing at an affordable, integrated, scalable software solution. The solution**will 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 differentiate**nandbox from its competitors and enlarge the number of subscribers in the next couple of years. This will open**a whole section of innovation in video processing used in mobile messaging platforms, where nandbox will be**well positioned and ahead of any competition.**The project will be conducted at UQO by Dr. Ahmed Lakhssassi. In addition to contributing to the training of**two graduate students and one professional, this research will promote the development of Canadian industry**by aiding nandbox in creating new processes, by developing new expertise in real-time video processing**applied to mobile massaging platform that can directly translate to increased sales and improved product**positioning. nandbox seeks to grow and dominate the $2.72 Billion market in 2018.
