AMD recently unveiled its 4th Gen EPYC™ CPUs. In light of this launch, Alex Davies of Rethink Research sat down with iSIZE CTO, Yiannis Andreopoulos to find out more about the benefits of the new designs for video workloads. Using 4th Gen AMD EPYC processors, running real-world tests to accelerate the neural network inferences in BitSave and BitClear, iSIZE achieves …
Video streaming now represents 80% or more of the traffic on the internet. According to a recent study by the Boston Consulting Group, the internet is responsible for around one billion tonnes of greenhouse gases a year. It is in everyone’s interests to make a meaningful reduction in these emissions. It is the mission of iSIZE to address this issue …
As part of our partnership with Intel, CTO Yiannis Andreopoulos recently gave a presentation at the ‘Innovator at the Edge’ tech talk on neural pre- and post-processing for #video delivery from and to edge devices. He discussed at length our core products BitSave – our AI pre-processing solution, and BitClear – our AI denoising solution, and how they optimize the …
iSIZE has become a member of Greening of Streaming. This is a global forum with members across every aspect of content streaming, to address the ever-growing concerns about the energy impact of the streaming sector. According to predictions from Future Market Research, the video streaming market is expected to grow from $61 billion in 2020 to $750 billon by 2031, …
iSIZE’s BitClear comprises AI technology for the denoising, and upscaling of video assets captured and transmitted in resource-constrained or adversarial environments. The aim of this innovation is the removal of: (i) encoding artifacts (blocking, blurring, ringing, aliasing, etc.); (ii) transmission impairments (e.g., artifacts from transport under adversarial wireless conditions or high-velocity UAVs); (iii) capture impairments (lens, camera flicker, vibrations, etc.). …
We are pleased to be presenting at the 30th ACM International Conference on Multimedia, held in Lisbon, Portugal, 10-14th October 2022. ACM Multimedia is a worldwide premier conference and a key world event to display scientific achievements and innovative industrial products in the multimedia field. The event includes an extensive program consisting of technical sessions covering all aspects of the …
We are delighted to have been recognised with TVBEurope’s Best of Show award at IBC for our latest BitClear AI-based video processing technology. This is BitClear’s second award following the NAB Product of the Year award we received earlier this year. Designed to remove compression artifacts (like blurring, blocking artifacts ringing) from user-generated (or heavily compressed) content, BitClear uses our …
We are in a climate emergency. More than a billion hours of content is consumed on a single streaming platform every single day and as a result, the industry’s carbon footprint is growing exponentially. This is why, at iSIZE we are passionate towards addressing these challenges, using deep perceptual AI-technology to make video delivery more sustainable. This year at …
A recent issue of the SMPTE Motion Imaging Journal, presents paper entitled Toward Generalized Psychovisual Preprocessing for Video Encoding by Yiannis Andreopoulos, Mohammad Ashraful Anam, Aaron Chadha, Ilya Fadeev, and Matthias Treder. The research explores the use of deep perceptual preprocessing to enable bitrate savings across several generations of video encoders, without breaking standards or requiring any changes in client …
The iSIZE team was at this year’s Alliance for Open Media Research Symposium, in Redwood City from 7-8 June. CTO Dr Yiannis Andreopoulos gave a presentation on Day 1, speaking about neural pre and post-processing for video encoding with a range of codecs such as AVC, VP9 and AV1. With more consumers and corporates streaming an ever-growing amount of video, …
