Most of us can’t even imagine a life without digital media. As soon as we wake up, we are bombarded with data and information through our phones, laptops and tablets. From the image we see while scrolling through Instagram, to the countless hours spent watching video on YouTube– it is easy to say that we are heavily dependent on data. 

Due to its ability to tell stories through visual sequences, videos are one of the most engaging forms of data. Consumers use online content and video streaming services for educational and recreational purposes. Content marketers are using vlogs, other multimedia to engage their audiences. Governments and private sectors are employing surveillance systems to record video footage of its premises for ensuring safety and security. According to Cisco’s Visual Networking Index, video traffic will quadruple by 2022. At that point, video will account for 82% of all IP traffic, up from 75% today. 

With this increasing popularity of multimedia content, the volume of multimedia content generated is growing at unprecedented levels. And this has raised bigger challenges for businesses that generate/manage multimedia content to pinpoint the right multimedia content from a massive multimedia database. 

For example, consider the case of a stock video business. The company will have its own database of videos and other multimedia. Suppose if the company wants to curate a list of videos that contain red coloured cars in it. For doing that, the company would need to employ several human resources to manually go through hours of video and tag videos that contain red cars in it. The bigger the size of the database, more number of people are required to do the task. This method is highly monotonous and not at all scalable in this era of data explosion. What if there is a better, more efficient, accurate and faster way to do this?
