Viewdle is changing the way you discover and engage with photo and video. By looking inside video frame-by-frame, and inside all photos, we create a comprehensive digital index that delivers relevant results at a level of granularity and accuracy not possible with existing rich media analytic tools. This index is the core of the Viewdle platform for building next-gen photo&video apps.
Technology
Viewdle’s automated engine utilizes state-of-the-art facial recognition technology as part of a multi-modal approach that extracts information from all three dimensions of rich media: visual, text and audio.
The proprietary algorithms powering the engine are designed to be scalable and fast with off the shelf hardware, making cost-conscious turnkey implementation possible. The pipeline and engine, which ingest and index photos & videos is very flexible; it can be configured for desktop, server (distributed), cloud, or mobile platforms. The engine and pipeline are protected by four pending patents.
A key characteristic that sets Viewdle’s algorithms apart is the high performance in uncontrolled environments. Our recognition algorithms work in various lighting conditions, camera angles, and resolution. No special footage or camera is need for either training or recognition, making consumer deployments possible.
