Fleetback is a cloud-native suite of products running on AWS. It was thus natural to develop and deploy their next Machine Learning products on AWS.
ARHS Spikeseed Machine Learning team was requested to implement a 360° car view generator out of a raw video captured with a smartphone by a user walking around the car. To achieve this, we designed and implemented a video processor that automatically cares to:
-
01. Detect the car positioning in each frame with a machine learning model
-
02. Postprocess the frames in order to further stabilize the video
-
03. Smooth the 360° navigation (using motion interpolation) across the frames
Project Solution
ARHS Spikeseed designed and implemented for Fleetback the best 360° generator at the best running cost, following state-of-the-art solutions and best practices, namely:
-
01.
Serverless Framework and AWS Lambda as the serverless architecture

What the customer says...
Today, when it comes to 360° photos rendering at low cost, we’re far ahead our competitors thanks to ARHS Spikeseed. Their Cloud and machine learning team demonstrated very high competences in understanding our requirements, and transforming them into a cloud service that we can operate on our own. They managed to deliver a product of quality, while coping with technical, budget and timing constraints. For all these reasons, I would definitely recommend ARHS Spikeseed.
