Developing Real-time Video Processing for Mobile Application

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 Inc.开发了用于消息通信平台和物联网（IoT）应用的创新技术。Nandbox正在不断开发新技术，以扩展其现有产品。Nandbox已经成功发布了他们的文本和语音信息平台，全球已有100多万用户使用。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。为了使用自己的专有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，以及实时内容分析和处理的能力，以一种可负担得起的、集成的、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**将包括元数据的自动提取（例如，检测所有对象，包括移动对象，面部，视觉相似性），用于视频通话以增加用户体验。这种创新的解决方案将使**nandbox从竞争对手中脱颖而出，并在未来几年内扩大用户数量。这将为移动信息平台的视频处理打开一个全新的领域，nandbox将在这一领域占据有利地位，领先于任何竞争对手。**该项目将由Ahmed Lakhssassi博士在UQO进行。除了有助于培养**两名研究生和一名专业人员外，本研究还将通过帮助nandbox创造新工艺，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提高产品**定位，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。

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.
