Due to the growth of video data on Internet, automatic video analysis has gained a lot of attention from academia as well as companies such as Facebook, Twitter and Google.  Video analysis, unlike image analysis, requires incredibly high speeds of efficiency and increased confidence intervals to accuratley discern the images in the video.  Creating these algorithms, these large tech companies have had to approach the problem from a creative and unintroduced algorithimic perspective.  

The thorough inspection of a finished product is an essential step in the quality-control process. In the beginning, quality checklists were accessed using paper on clipboards. As technology improved, computers were utilized. But computers required additional time to access, and couldn’t be carried to the equipment being inspected. Tablets replaced computers, but were easily broken and expensive to replace.
