Systems and methods are described herein for detecting image impairments indicating low quality images within video content. An image impairment detection (IMD) model can be generated with a training data set including images that include one or more image impairments. Video content comprising a set of video frames may be obtained and a video frame provided to the image impairment detection model as input. Output may be received from the image impairment detection model indicating that the video frame includes an image impairment artifact indicative of a particular image impairment. One or more operations may be executed based at least in part on the output received.

Techniques for detecting low image quality

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for systems and methods for latency detection for streaming video. Example methods may include receiving a request to determine a time to first frame for video content, determining a streaming service and a playback device associated with the request, and determining a time at which playback of the content is initiated. Example methods include capturing a playback sequence of the video content, classifying individual frames of the playback sequence, where each classification is associated with a probability value indicative of a likelihood the frame is a first frame, analyzing classifications of the individual frames, and determining, based at least in part on the analysis of the classifications of the individual frames, the time to first frame for the video content.

Latency detection for streaming video

Techniques for systems and methods that provide for utilizing a robotic system to type commands that correspond to voice commands using a keyboard of a device are described herein. In embodiments, an image of a device may be received from a camera. A keyboard region of the device may be determined based on a keyboard detection algorithm that uses the image. One or more characters in a portion of the image that corresponds to the keyboard region of the device may be detected based on a character detection algorithm. The one or more characters may be grouped into one or more groups based on the portion of the image. A character of a portion of character associated with a group may be edited based on an error detection algorithm.

Voice controlled keyboard typing using computer vision

Disclosed are various embodiments involving access to guest orders in an electronic commerce application. In one embodiment, a request to access a guest account is obtained from a client. The request specifies a destination network address and an order identifier. A message is sent to the destination network address in response to verifying that the destination network address and the order identifier are associated with the guest account. The message includes a link that facilitates access to an order management function for the guest account.

Access to guest accounts in electronic commerce

Disclosed are various embodiments for increasing distributed database capacity by adding new nodes while minimizing downtime. A database is partitioned among multiple nodes in a cluster. Each node stores a respective portion of the database. The portions of the database are replicated to corresponding physical standbys. For each portion, a first portion is mapped to an existing node, while a remaining portion is mapped to a physical standby. The cluster is updated to include the physical standbys as additional nodes among which the database is partitioned.

Increasing distributed database capacity

Disclosed are various embodiments involving access to guest orders in an electronic commerce application. In one embodiment, a guest order is generated for the purchase of a product in a server based on interaction with a client over a network. The guest order is stored in a data store in isolation with respect to a plurality of user accounts and in isolation with respect to a plurality of other guest orders stored in the data store. Client access is provided in the server to order data associated with the guest order to facilitate at least one customer action with respect to the guest order.
