Building a Reverse Video Search System With Mixpeek & PostgreSQL

Building a reverse video search system with Mixpeek and PostgreSQL leverages AI embeddings to address the challenges of searching through unstructured data like videos. By using Mixpeek for video processing and embedding generation, combined with PostgreSQL’s vector database capabilities, the system allows for efficient querying of video data using semantic similarity. The process involves ingesting video data, generating vector embeddings for video chunks, and storing these embeddings in a PostgreSQL database enhanced with pgvector and pgvectorscale extensions. Users can perform searches using either video or text queries, with Mixpeek converting queries into embeddings that are then compared against stored embeddings to retrieve the most relevant video segments. This approach, hosted on Timescale Cloud, offers a scalable and cost-effective solution for advanced video search and retrieval, integrating seamlessly with AI applications to manage and analyze large volumes of video content.
