You can install FilterBox and get it running in as little as 10 minutes if you’re familiar with Kubernetes and Helm.
The Genesis of FilterBox
FilterBox emerged from a pressing challenge: making the complex world of computer vision accessible to everyone. Our journey started with a simple problem: how do we transition advanced machine learning models from development to real-world use? Inspired by the efficiency of containers in the world of technology, particularly in areas like DevOps and cloud-native computing, we envisioned a similar solution tailored specifically for computer vision.
Simplifying Computer Vision
We saw an abundance of point solutions in the market—companies dedicated to solving specific computer vision problems individually. While this might seem like progress, it often led to inefficiencies systemically by not reusing shared components across use cases. For instance, various image recognition problems required similar preprocessing steps and algorithms. Many of these problems shared fundamental similarities in their underlying mechanisms, making the fragmented approach less efficient.
