Live video analytics under packet losses

What is it about?

Live video analytics is becoming crucial for applications like drones and augmented reality, but existing systems struggle to maintain stable low latency in networks with packet losses. This paper presents a system that ensures consistent low latency with high analytics accuracy by enabling analytics on the frames with missing packets and implementing error recovery strategies.

Why is it important?

Our loss acceptance & recovery strategy signifies a paradigm shift from dependence on the inherently variable nature of network resources to leveraging the more manageable computational resources, fundamentally transforming how packet loss and delays are addressed. When combined with systems that ensure computing latency, our method offers a pathway to achieving consistent end-to-end latency in cloud-based video analytics platforms.
