Problem
Training computer vision and generative AI models requires massive amounts of high‑quality video data that is properly licensed, richly annotated, and searchable. Existing video collections are often noisy, inconsistently labeled, and fraught with copyright uncertainties, which slows model development and raises compliance risk.
Solution
Sieve operates a video‑data research platform that transforms raw video streams into training‑ready datasets. The pipeline records original footage, aggregates external sources, and applies automated quality scoring to filter out low‑resolution or artifact‑laden clips. Each retained video is indexed with deep‑learning detectors and vector embeddings, enabling instant semantic search. Dense annotations—including object, action, and paired‑media labels—are generated by expert models and validated by human reviewers. Customers can access curated collections or request custom datasets through a scalable, S3‑compatible API that delivers data within days, while SOC 2‑type 2 encryption and licensing filters ensure full compliance.
Target Audience
Primary customers are AI research labs, enterprise machine‑learning teams, and generative‑AI startups that need large‑scale, licensed video corpora for computer‑vision, video‑generation, and multimodal model training.
Features
- Automated quality assessment pipeline that evaluates resolution, motion blur, and aesthetic metrics at scale
- Embedding‑based indexing of billions of video segments for sub‑second semantic retrieval
- Dense, multi‑modal annotations (objects, actions, audio cues, paired media) produced by expert models with human QA loops
- Flexible delivery options: ready‑to‑use catalog datasets or bespoke collections built on demand
- Scalable API capable of handling millions of video hours per month with S3‑compatible transfer endpoints
- End‑to‑end encryption, custom data‑retention policies, and SOC 2‑type 2 compliance for secure data handling
- Licensing compliance engine that filters content to meet specific permission and usage requirements
