~Avigilon adds face and vehicle search to its
advanced neural network AI technology~
VANCOUVER, CANADA, March 22, 2017 /CNW/ - Avigilon Corporation
("Avigilon") (TSX: AVO), provider of trusted security
solutions, today announced that it will preview the new Avigilon
Face and Vehicle Appearance Search video analytics technologies
at ISC West 2017, Sands Expo and Convention Center booth
22043, in Las Vegas, USA, from April 5 to 7,
2017.
Avigilon is expanding its deep learning artificial intelligence
(AI) search engine, Avigilon Appearance Search technology, with two
powerful new features that help users save time and effort during
critical investigations.
Using deep neural networks for face analytics, Avigilon Face
Appearance Search technology enables searching for a person by
incorporating the unique characteristics of a face to find similar
recorded footage of that person across a site. For operators, this
technology increases the speed and accuracy of investigations, by
detecting and understanding that it is searching for the same
person, even if items such as their clothing change over time.
Avigilon Vehicle Appearance Search technology enables users to
quickly search recorded footage and find a specific vehicle across
a site. This technology is designed to provide security operators
critical information about where and when a vehicle might have been
before and after an event.
"By continuing to be at the forefront of developing deep
learning AI technology, we are redefining the way customers think
about and interact with their video surveillance systems," said Dr.
Mahesh Saptharishi, Avigilon's Chief
Technology Officer. "This enables systems to provide powerful
insights for effective decision making."
Both Avigilon Face and Vehicle Search have been designed to be
part of Avigilon Appearance Search technology, and will be
integrated with Avigilon's full line of video analytics solutions.
Existing customers will be able to upgrade certain legacy products
to benefit from these exciting new technologies.
