Networked system for real-time computer-aided augmentation of live input video stream

A networked system for real-time computer-aided augmentation of a live input video stream includes an endpoint system configured and operative to handle the live input video stream and a live augmented video stream and to provide service access to a video augmentation service for the computer-aided augmentation of the live input video stream. The system further includes a backend system providing service orchestration to orchestrate use and operation of the video augmentation service, and an edge inference system coupled to the endpoint system and to the backend system, the edge inference system being configured and co-operative with the endpoint system to provide the video augmentation service on the live input video stream and thereby generate the live augmented video stream, based on the service orchestration by the backend system.
