Demo Research Proposal
Overview
The exponentially growing volume of video content presents new challenges in storing, accessing, and
garnering value from video files and streams. My proposed project, VidCloud, aims to provide an on-
demand cloud-based platform that enables processing, analysis, and transcoding of large video
collections using scalable cloud infrastructure.
VidCloud would offer essential processing capabilities like format conversion, editing, compressing and
indexing as well as advanced techniques in machine learning-driven video analysis including object
detection, speech-to-text, sentiment analysis and more. By leveraging the latest deep learning models
and optimization best practices for the cloud, VidCloud can help organizations, media companies, and
individual users extract more value from their video libraries and workflows.
Brainstorming Process
Defining VidCloud's capabilities and architecture requires strategizing the right components and design
patterns. I would drive an iterative brainstorming process using the following framework:
Interview media companies, online content platforms about their video processing needs
Prioritize capabilities based on technical feasibility and value add
Explore serverless functions, containerized microservices, and queue-based asynchronous
processing for architectural components
Evaluate recent advances in computer vision, NLP/speech recognition models for video analysis
Determine most valuable and deployable algorithms for metadata generation, search indexing,
automatic tagging
Architect modular microservices for easier expandability
By following this brainstorming framework, I can develop a comprehensive proposal for VidCloud's
capabilities, architecture, and implementation plan to ensure a high-value and scalable cloud video
processing platform.
