Improvements in machine learning have made it possible to extract rich insights from visual data (images, videos). However, handling big-visual-data for Machine Learning requires storage and access methods that are designed specifically for that purpose. With the current off-the-shelf alternatives, engineers and data scientists in the space must "glue together" data solutions that were not designed for visual data management. With the focus of ApertureData on the data side of ML deployments -- ddressing the next generation of challenges for ML based applications -- ApertureData offers a Machine-Learning-ready, high performance, cloud agnostic database - designated ApertureDB -- built to manage big-"visual"-data - making visual assets more easily manageable.
