Our Innovation
At Prime Video, we solve technical challenges and build solutions at scale. Here’s how we do it.
We conducted the first large-scale study of medium and low-bitrate videos from live sports for two codecs (Elemental AVC and HEVC) and created the Amazon Prime Video Low-Bitrate Sports (APV LBS) dataset.
We present a new method and a large-scale database to detect audio-video synchronization (A/V sync) errors in tennis videos.
In this study towards better quality assessment of high-quality videos, a subjective study was conducted focusing on high-quality HD and UHD content with the Degradation Category Rating (DCR) protocol.
We built a video quality database specifically designed for live streaming VQA research. The new video database is called the Laboratory for Image and Video Engineering (LIVE) Live stream Database. The LIVE Livestream Database includes 315 videos of 45 contents impaired by 6 types of distortions.
We present a novel approach to differential cost analysis that, given a program revision, attempts to statically bound the difference in resource usage, or cost, between the two program versions. Differential cost analysis is particularly interesting because of the many compelling applications for it, such as detecting resource-use regressions at code-review time or proving the absence of certain side-channel vulnerabilities.
Actor identification and localization in movies and TV series seasons can enable deeper engagement with the content. Manual actor identification and tagging at every time-instance in a video is error prone as it is a highly repetitive, decision intensive and time-consuming task. The goal of this paper is to accurately label as many faces as possible in the video with actor names.
We propose a novel framework to register sports-fields as they appear in broadcast sports videos. Unlike previous approaches, we particularly address the challenge of field registration when: (a) there are not enough distinguishable features on the field, and (b) no prior knowledge is available about the camera.
