SBIR/STTR Award attributes
With the explosive growth of Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile communication technologies, media streaming service and applications based on video content have gained remarkable popularity and interest from users. When someone is using their device to record a video, then share that video with friends through a certain website (e.g. Netflix, YouTube), the process may sound simple from the user side. However, there is a complex processing chain behind it. Recent advances in the utilization and economics of the distributed cloud computing environment have offered great potential for both commercial and military video applications. Building capabilities and technologies for media processing by leveraging elastic cloud computing will offer significant enhancement to current government and military practice. The objective of this effort is to develop a highly scalable software system, entitled as “CloudVS: cloud based next generation video services”, to integrate video processing and sharing services with cloud computing for next generation multimedia applications.
