Developing Real-time Video Processing for Mobile Application

视频通话和视频会议一直是全球数十亿用户使用的热门话题。移动消息应用程序最大的**问题是庞大的用户基础，全球月度活跃用户超过10亿。Nandbox Inc.为消息传递通信平台和**物联网(IoT)应用程序开发了创新技术。Nandbox正在不断开发新技术，以扩展其现有产品。Nandbox成功发布了他们的文本和语音消息平台，全球已有100多万订户**在使用该平台。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型视频通信，以**完善他们创新的专有消息传递平台。**为了使用自己的专有消息传递平台来增强其产品，Nandbox迫切需要能够**通过实时内容分析和处理提供丰富的实时视频通信体验，以**以负担得起的、集成的、可扩展的软件解决方案来针对**消息传递视频呼叫和会议。解决方案**将包括自动提取元数据(例如，检测所有对象，包括移动对象、人脸、**视觉相似性)，以用于视频通话，以提高用户体验。这一创新的解决方案将使Nandbox从竞争对手中脱颖而出，并在未来几年扩大用户数量。这将开启**用于移动消息平台的视频处理的一整部分创新，Nandbox将**处于有利地位，并领先于任何竞争对手。**该项目将由艾哈迈德·拉赫萨西博士在UQO进行。除了对**两名研究生和一名专业人员的培训做出贡献外，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，促进加拿大行业的发展**，从而直接转化为销售额的增加和产品**的定位。Nandbox寻求在2018年增长并主导27.2亿美元的市场。

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.
