Improving live stream show

Meeting with Arik Shamir – An expert in Computer Graphics

We arrived to a point where the most painful problem with our algorithm was that it was running too slow. We wanted the users to really feel that they are looking at a live stream video, so that the user experience would be the best we could do. Right now, it looked like a video that is buffering all the time…

We initiated a meeting with Arik Shamir, a professor in the IDC Computer Science Faculty, and an expert in Computer Graphics and Computer Vision. We brought up ideas with Arik, and thought about moving some of the calculations to the preprocessing stage of the algorithm, to do less calculations in real time when the images are processed one after the other. After the meeting, Or and Maia changed the logic of the algorithm, and indeed moved some of the matrices multiplications to the preprocessing stage. After some serious debugging and changes in the code, it worked! And the time it took to process each image dropped tremendously. It now really feels like a live stream video... :)
