Beamr Releases White Paper on using its CABR Solution to Boost Vision AI
December 11 2023 - 7:00AM
Beamr, a leader in video optimization technology and solutions,
today announced that it released a White Paper detailing how its
Content Adaptive Bitrate (CABR) optimized encoding solution, which
reduces video size but not perceptual quality, can make video used
for vision AI easier to handle, thus reducing workflow complexity.
Beamr is advancing on a new front - and reveals its capability to
support Machine Learning for video.
Machine Learning (ML) for video processing is a field expanding
at a fast pace, with a market already estimated at billions of
dollars. One of the biggest pain points for ML players is managing
extremely large video files and libraries. As the cluster of files
grows bigger, they are faced with the challenging task of storing
and transferring them at an increasing cost.
Results of a new case study show it may be possible to address
the challenge and cut processing costs using Beamr’s
technology.

In the new White Paper, Beamr shows that video files that were
slimmed down by 40% on average - without losing their perceptual
quality due to Beamr’s CABR technology - keep ML results
unaffected.
The tests were conducted on NVIDIA DeepStream SDK - a tool for
AI-based multi-sensor processing, video, audio and image
understanding, which was a natural choice for Beamr as an NVIDIA
Metropolis partner.
Tamar Shoham, Beamr CTO, said: "We decided to try out the Nvidia
DeepStream SDK, which enables vision AI applications and services,
combined with the recent Nvidia encoder enhanced with Beamr CABR.
In the experiment, we demonstrated that the results of the
DeepStream were unaffected by the video optimization process”.
“We are thankful to the Nvidia DeepStream team for supporting
our research”, Shoham Added.
The results presented in the White Paper show that Beamr’s
patent-proven and award winning technology - Content Adaptive
Bitrate - can be applied to videos that undergo ML tasks such as
object detection. In future work, Beamr plans to investigate the
further potential benefits obtained when CABR is incorporated at
the training stage and expand the experiments to include more model
types and ML tasks.
