A frame is one picture in the stream; play many per second and the eye sees motion. Vision models usually process frames one at a time, so how many frames you analyse per second directly sets accuracy, latency, and compute bill.

AI for Video: A Complete Guide to Intelligence in Video Products: From Models and Inference to Computer Vision, Speech, Search, and Generative Video
Every frame a model processes costs compute, so frame handling decides accuracy, latency and spend together. This volume covers the frame as the unit of video AI: pre-processing for ML, decoding and resizing, per-frame detection, segmentation and tracking, and the deployment topologies that run them. Written by Nikolay Sapunov, CEO at Fora Soft.
