In the first video we show a conversion to access a directory of Kodak Photo CD images then chaining that with an extraction call to pull information from the image. We emphasize that none of these capabilities reside locally but are pulled together from an extensible collection of tools distributed within the cloud.
In the next video we show how to use the extracted data to build an index over a collection of files and then perform a search to find similar data:
