New AI software from Panasonic
New software from Panasonic integrates artificial intelligence into existing IP camera infrastructure. One feature, for example, takes care of recognizing clothing and assigns it to gender, age or clothing color.
Panasonic announced at a Linkedin online event a new tool called "I-Pro Multi-AI System" presented. The software captures and filters the best snapshots and metadata based on deep learning and integrates with existing CCTV infrastructures. The system works by using "I-Pro AI"-enabled cameras with real-time analysis and plug-ins on the Video Management System (VMS) on the server and client side.
Some of the applications are particularly suitable for urban surveillance and public safety, according to Panasonic. The "AI Face Detection" function, for example, enables highly accurate face recognition in dimly lit environments, backlighting and when faces are obscured by masks. "AI People, for example, recognizes features of the human face and clothing and assigns them to categories such as gender, age or clothing color.
Another feature called AI Vehicle Detection classifies features of vehicles, for example by vehicle type and color. The purely visual level is supplemented by the classification of sounds recorded by external microphones. These include, for example, vehicle horns, gunshots, screams or broken glass as a standard function.
