The promise of being able to standardize on Kubernetes as a platform is attractive as it offers unique solutions to many of the challenges companies face. This post talks about the Azure Service Operator open source project that helps customers deploy Azure Resources using Kubernetes definitions

Detecting “Action” and “Cut” in Archival Footage Using a Multi-model Computer Vision and Audio Approach with Azure Cognitive Services

Nile Wilson September 27, 2021 Sep 27, 2021 09/27/21

Movies and TV shows require multiple takes per scene and may have a substantial amount of archival footage as a result. Here, we use Azure Cognitive Services and custom code to develop a multi-model Machine Learning (ML) solution to automatically detect discardable footage to save media companies manual archiving hours and storage space.

Building an Action Detection Scoring Pipeline for Digital Dailies

Samuel Mendenhall September 20, 2021 Sep 20, 2021 09/20/21

Media companies capture footage filmed for the entire day in what's known as ‘digital dailies’. When talking about terabytes and petabytes of content, storage costs can be a factor. Lets explore Machine Learning approaches to identify which content can be archived or discarded which will save on those storage costs.

Enabling COVID-19 Exposure Notifications Across the United States on Azure

Andre Briggs September 7, 2021 Sep 7, 2021 09/7/21
