Introduction

NUBOMEDIA-VCA is a part of the NUBOMEDIA , which is the first cloud platform specifically designed for hosting interactive multimedia services. NUBOMEDIA exposes to developers PaaS APIs for creating media pipelines. A media pipeline is a chain of elements providing media capabilities such as encryption, transcoding, augmented reality or video content analysis. These chains allow building arbitrarily complex media processing for applications. As a unique feature, from the point of view of the pipelines, the NUBOMEDIA cloud infrastructure behaves as a single virtual super-computer encompassing all the available resources of the physical network. This part of the project is in charge of the Video Content Analysis (VCA), through which the developers can apply different computer vision filters to their media pipelines.

Through this documentation you can learn how to install and develop using the API of the following filters: face detector, mouth detector, nose detector, eye detector, ear detector, and tracker filter. Futhermore, you can find information about tutorials in order to test the different filters, and also you can read more about the architecture of VCA filter within NUBOMEDIA in the advanced guide.
