Appscio
Open source framework for integrating best-of-breed media analytics
Appscio is the leader in the application of media analytics to government, enterprise and web media management problems. Appscio was incorporated in 2007, by visionaries who anticipated rapid, widespread deployment of low cost digital video devices. The founders realized the central problem in managing the video from these devices is harvesting metadata from within the media to enable indexing and segmentation.
Media analytics which generate this metadata have been developed with substantial government funding by hundreds of research projects and institutions. However, until today, their work was developed and deployed in proprietary, closed applications. No simple, standard mechanism existed for leveraging the work of others, bridging audio and video domains, or combining analytics. To address this problem, Appscio developed its open source, open architecture media processing framework. The Appscio Media Processing Framework (Appscio MPF) creates a plug-in architecture for video and audio analytics that allows Appscio, researchers, and customers alike to rapidly develop and deploy applications utilizing best-of-breed media analytics.
Appscio sells applications and services built on the Appscio MPF, and sponsors an open source project to extend its capabilities. Appscio licenses, commercializes, certifies, tests, documents, benchmarks, and resells media analytics developed by others; for example, commercial entities, research organizations, and individuals. Appscio does not develop proprietary media analytics of its own.
Appscio is headquartered in Freedom, California. In-Q-Tel initially invested in Appscio in February 2008. For more information about Appscio, please visit www.appscio.com.
