There are huge “gains to be made when it comes to neural networks and intelligent camera systems”, declared Hu Yangzhong, CEO of Chinese firm Hikvision, last week. Hikvision has struck a deal with US machine vision firm Movidius to bring greater levels of machine learning to their video surveillance cameras. Through the deal, Hikvision’s next generation smart cameras will feature Movidius’ Myriad 2 Vision processing Unit (VPU) technology, which has the capacity to enable deep neural network algorithms at the edge rather than on the cloud. In addition “with the Myriad 2 VPU we’re able to make our analytics offerings much more accurate, flagging more events that require a response, while reducing false alarms,” Yangzhong commented. By processing large amounts of observational data, deep neural networks can allow software to learn and improve. These characteristics make them very useful for security applications like the accurate detection of suspicious packages, recognition of potential intruders and even […]
