Edge-Cloud Video Streaming Pipeline for Video Action Recognition

Streaming Cameras have become ubiquitous in the urban and industrial landscape. This research project aims to improve the AI-based action recognition capability of consumer-class home camera streams, which often have limited bandwidth and degraded video quality. The project proposes to develop a network-aware, video-action recognition AI pipeline that pushes key operations of traditional action recognition pipelines to the edge and uses this in concert with a cloud-based infrastructure to provide high-precision recognition capability. The benefit to the partner organization, SAIC-Toronto and Samsung Electronics Canada, is advancing the state-of-the-art in action recognition in resource impoverished and dynamic environments, and sharing any newly gained knowledge, patents, and publications resulting from the research.
