Postmortem: Huzon.tv – face recognition social marketing for TV news
- voltagex_ 12y agoThis seems like a very strange startup to me, but the solution is interesting. The article says that processing of the MPEG2 (?) feed couldn't be done on an Atom processor but I wonder if hardware decoding would have helped here.
- fivedogit 12y agoThe main issue was face rec processing, not grabbing the images. What's so weird about my startup? :)
- voltagex_ 12y agoI guess I'm just not that interested in my news presenters! That said, our (public broadcaster) presenters are reasonably well known and seem to have a decent social media presence, at least on Twitter.
- seanewest 12y agoDo you think it would have been technically possible to eliminate images where a reporter is blinking (or in the process)?
- fivedogit 12y agoWhen the reporter blinks, face rec fails entirely bc it can't find their pupils/eyes. This is why 2 frames per second performed so much more reliably than 1. The 5 or 6 second moving average scores were devastated by blinking when only 1 frame per second was considered. Less so with 2 frames per second.
