Need to do a Face detection on rtsp stream using Azure services

Question

I would like to use some of the Azure service for my project. Idea is to stream encoded video stream (h264), expecting Azure to decode and perform face detection on it in real time. What are the best services to use it.
One option I explore is to use computer vision/face Api with media services, however computed vision API requires image in jpeg/bif format which requires reencoding of decoding stream, or I need to do screen grab, which I dont want to do as it will increase latency.
If there is service which does ML operations on raw frame decoded by media services would help here.

Answer 1

@Saurabh Singh Sengar The service that offers the capability to enable identification of faces in real time with streaming video is Azure Video Analyzer. It should support HLS and other popular formats, you can take a look at the limitations and quotas from the documentation.

With computer vision or face API you need to capture the frame or a screen shot and pass the same to the API to get the results.

In particular, review https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-video-analyzer/video-analyzer-docs/use-intel-openvino-tutorial that shows you how you can run Intel's face detection model on an RTSP stream.
