▶ Intelligent Ultra HD video processing technology, through the old film repair, image quality enhancement, 4K super score and other aspects to greatly improve the image quality experience, make up for the lack of Ultra HD content, accelerate the development of the Ultra HD industry, the relevant technology has repeatedly won the title in the international authoritative competition;

▶ Real-time audio and video communication relies on multiple algorithms developed by the core to achieve smooth communication and ultra-low delay interaction experience; With the combination of full-link SRT protocol technology communication scheme and MPEGTS package, low delay live streaming can stably support multi-million level live streaming concurrency.

▶ Provide All in one smart video SDK matrix capability for different business scenarios, covering video effects, short video, interactive live streaming, player, enhanced super score, etc.

Based on the integration of cloud intelligence, the video creation and distribution platform and visual network perception platform of Baidu Intelligent Video Cloud 3.0 provide one-stop services and platform support for applications in different scenarios. The video creation and distribution platform is oriented to the pan-Internet and pan-media industries, focusing on workflow and media resource management, covering the whole process of video access, production, processing, review and analysis, and personalized recommendation and distribution. It uses the AI ability to analyze and understand data to speed up data flow and improve the utilization rate of media data. Optical networking sensing platform for traditional industries, to video terminal equipment and the unified connection and video data flow analysis and management, implement general geared to the needs of production, control and governance scenarios such as links, chain, chain pipe foundation platform, in enterprise production, industrial management, urban and social governance can play an important value. On top of cloud capabilities, AI capabilities enable smart video to move from “slash-and-burn” to “intensive” farming. Ding Errui, director of Baidu’s visual technology department, introduced the AI capabilities of “Intelligent Video Cloud 3.0 Panorama”. In terms of video content understanding and analysis, video intelligent analysis, content intelligent review and intelligent retrieval can be carried out through images, sounds, scenes, characters, text description and other information. Based on the multi-heterogeneous knowledge graph of Baidu self-research industry, which contains the largest mass knowledge of 550 billion yuan, it can enhance the deep understanding of video, improve the efficiency of video cataloging, and support video analysis, review, retrieval and other aspects to be widely used. In terms of intelligent video production, various content carriers such as graphic information, data and atlas are used to convert to short videos, and structured data and event context are enhanced based on knowledge graph to realize innovative video generation. In terms of video interaction and generation, a new AI capability matrix for interaction and generation is constructed, in which the video generation technology based on meta-learning-transfer learning can quickly customize high-quality videos of different styles according to requirements. And combining with the virtual digital image generation and speech synthesis, lip motion, such as technology, low cost can be produced rich clever, online image multiterminal covering digital people, interaction not only natural, sweet voice, can also fit a variety of business scenarios requirements, such as baidu cloud of digital virtual host “little C”, in the two sessions this year live TV presenter with excellent performance.

The forum also shared the intelligent video solutions and application cases of Baidu intelligent video cloud in the direction of pan-Internet, pan-media and pan-industry, covering scenes of interactive entertainment, content production, intelligent analysis, remote real-time communication, production management, security management and so on.
