Abstract

We demonstrate a concept of computer vision as a secure, live service on the Internet. We show a platform to distribute a real time vision algorithm using simple widely available Web technologies, such as Adobe Flash. We allow a user to access this service without downloading an executable or sharing the image stream with anyone. We support developers to publish without distribution complexity. Finally the platform supports user-permitted aggregation of data for computer vision research or analysis. We describe results for a simple distributed motion detection algorithm. We discuss future scenarios for organically extending the horizon of computer vision research.
