Is it possible to count the number of passengers in a vehicle? Or to get a warning if the driver of the vehicle is distracted? Florian Seitner, CEO of emotion3D, shares with us how to increase safety in vehicles with video analytics.
When it comes to video analytics, we hear a lot of different terms being used interchangeably: Artificial Intelligence (AI), Computer Vision (CV), Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL). In this episode we unpack all of these and explain how they are not the same but do relate to one another.
In this episode of Video Analytics 101 Florian Matusek talks with Paule Brodeur, Manager of the Computer Team of Genetec’s AutoVu line of products, about how license plate recognition works technically and what the future holds.
There is a lot of talk about artificial intelligence, machine learning and deep learning. But how does it actually work under the hood? In this episode, we explain how to train a deep learning network and the differences between training and inferencing and classification and detection.
The UK-based start-up Liopa is working on a unique technology to automatically read lips in video, with potential applications in the security industry. But how ready is it for prime-time? In this episode of Video Analytics 101, Florian Matusek is talking to the CTO of Liopa, Fabian Campbell-West, about how it works and where we go from here.
Face recognition is a topic of much interest and controversy. On the one hand, we use it every day to unlock our phone or at passport control at the airport. On the other hand, we hear of instances where it doesn't work and causes more harm than good. In this episode, we explain how every face recognition system works under the hood and why bias in face recognition is of great concern.
In this episode of Video Analytics 101, Florian Matusek is talking with Asaf Birenzvieg, CEO and co-founder of viisights, to discuss how weapons detection using video analytics works, how behavior recognition can help increase accuracy, and what is currently possible and impossible with this technology.
In this episode of Video Analytics 101, Florian Matusek is talking with Nick Ni, Sr. Director for Data Center AI and Compute Markets at AMD to discuss the issue of Dark AI Silicon, and how GPUs for video analytics processing get less and less efficient and what to do about it.
The number one question customers like to ask video analytics vendors is: how accurate is it? And then again, nothing is more complicated to calculate. In this video, we will introduce the F1 score, an established and standardized way to calculate video analytics accuracy.

Video surveillance cameras are typically being used for security purposes. Increasingly, however, automation and security begin to merge and protocols such as MQTT provide a standard way for cameras to communicate with other IoT devices. In this session, we are talking with Philippe Henaine of i-PRO on how cameras are becoming IoT sensors and what new applications this evolution brings.
Nowadays, it feels like everyone is an expert in AI and video analytics. But there are a lot of terms floating around that actually do not mean anything and should not be found in any product sheet. In this video we are debunking the top 3 myths: detecting unusual behavior, object tracking and "we use AI", and discuss what we should talk about instead.
Smoke & fire detection has been around for some time. For some vendors it remains just a tradeshow feature but some specialize in this topic, such as Bosch Security & Safety Systems. In this episode of Video Analytics 101, Florian Matusek welcomes Theresa Grunewald, responsible for global business development of the AVIOTEC line of cameras at Bosch.
Video analytics has been used for a wide range of security applications. But one application that is difficult to realize and hence hasn’t seen a lot of attention is violence detection. In this session, we are talking with Gerwin van der Lugt, CTO of Oddity.AI who are specialized in detecting fights and other kinds of violence. We will talk about how the technology works, where to use it, and, more importantly, where not to use it.
