The University of Texas at Austin (UT-Austin): Laboratory for Image and Video Engineering (LIVE)
Researchers in UT-Austin’s LIVE (UT-LIVE), Directed by Professor Al Bovik, have singularly pioneered the use of visual neuroscience to create picture and video quality measurement and monitoring tools that control the quality and bandwidths of a large percentage of all streaming videos, television, and social media. Their breakthrough inventions include the iconic Structural Similarity (SSIM), Multi-scale SSIM (MS-SSIM), and Visual Information Fidelity (VIF) “reference” visual quality tools, which delivered dramatic leaps in performance when introduced, and are still dominant today. These tools are used today to control the quality of most streaming and social media pictures and videos in the US and beyond. Bovik and his team also disrupted the field by inventing the first accurate and practical “blind” visual quality models (BRISQUE and NIQE), using models of neuro-statistical distances, at the neural level, between distorted and distortion-free visual signals. These tools are also globally marketed and used in numerous industry applications, including inspection of streaming and social video uploads, control of cameras, and remote video transcoding in the Cloud.

FilmTrack: BaM Shortlist – Monetize
Accedo One: Hybrid Monetization for Video
Hybrid monetization has become a particularly hot topic as of late, fuelled primarily by macroeconomic uncertainty caused by major global events. Some of the big players, such as Netflix and Disney, have already announced the introduction of ad-funded tiers to supplement their existing subscription offerings. At the same time, reports show that an increasing number of users are willing to accept some advertising in return for lower subscription fees.
Vubiquity: BaM Shortlist – Manage
With growing consumer demand for content across an increasing array of platforms, territories and languages, suppliers are creating and localizing massive amounts of new content and resurfacing existing libraries. This immense content volume requires high-quality metadata for accurate and compelling content description to power search, discovery and recommendation.
