Automated Video Quality Detection and Multithreaded Optimization for Live Stream Transcoding

This article describes an automated workflow for capturing frames from live‑stream transcode outputs, using OpenCV and ffmpeg to perform black‑screen and artifact detection, integrating results via an API, storing images in S3, and applying a producer‑consumer multithreaded model to reduce detection latency by up to 42%.
