Prakash Prabhu – Chief Business Officer & Co-Founder, VisionBot In 2022 the world would have surpassed 1 billion video cameras in use. While the number is huge, the future is staggering. Today there is 1 camera for every 8 people. It is projected that by 2030 there will be 13 billion video cameras in use. In just 8 years we will move from 1 camera for every 8 people to 1.5 cameras for each person. We can aptly call it the World Vision Web. How will technology cope with such a humongous growth? CLOUD based CCTV Video surveillance can be the bridge that will allow us to cross this challenge The capabilities of CCTV video surveillance systems are now being transformed by fundamental shifts in how visual content inspection and monitoring data is gathered and analysed for actionable insights. This has profound implications not just for the effectiveness of CCTV video surveillance as a security tool but deployment of Video Content Analysis (VCA), for a range of other, non-security applications. There is clearly a requirement for newer ways these systems can provide organisations with more tangible returns on their CCTV video surveillance investment than ever before: Risk & compliance management. Unified threat management. Loss prevention/ detection systems. Business continuity/ reporting. Bulk video synopsis. Information and event management. Identity and safety management. Impact of AI & ML on the Enterprise Security and Visual Monitoring and Inspection market Traditional rule based VCA adoption is on the rise and more providers are incorporating it in their cameras (Edge) and Video Management Systems. But it is basically the mechanism to incorporate intelligence into Computer Vision devices through a pre-determined set of rules (algorithm). This may satisfy the needs of security and investigations, but are found lacking for the demanding visual content inspection and monitoring requirements. When it comes to buzzwords, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has a higher recollect and is much used in the analytics domain than the more specific related terms machine learning and deep learning which are a better description of cognitive tools that are being deployed for computer vision. Machine Learning: Machine Learning, a sub set of Artificial Intelligence (AI), uses statistical methods and is basically the process which provides the system (computer) to learn automatically and improve accordingly without being explicitly programmed. We can classify ML as Supervised Learning, Unsupervised Learning and Reinforcement Learning Deep Learning: Deep Learning is basically a sub-part of the broader family of Machine Learning which makes use of Neural Networks with a large number of parameters layers classified as Convolutional Neural Networks, Recurrent Neural Networks and Recursive Neural Networks. DL works on larger sets of data when compared to ML and prediction mechanism is self-administered by machines. Deep learning systems can continuously calibrate vectors assigned to various inputs to better understand their environment. While standard systems tend to scrutinise pixel values for input data, deep learning systems can also use temporal, spatial and other visual elements to recognise and classify objects and events. Deep learning algorithms can handle larger datasets, including unlabelled data, in less time than traditional algorithms. Important reason for AI/ ML adoption will be more accuracy, reduced costs, improved productivity while requiring minimal human intervention to adapt and teach systems, which the AI will do itself as it continually learns. Deep learning algorithms, which continuously self-optimise based on analysis of data gathered, has supercharged VCA. It will be the next best transformation for the Visual Content Inspection and Monitoring industry after adoption of Network video for CCTV Surveillance in the early 2008. Industry experts agree that the mentioned environments will benefit most from AI/ ML deployments: Crowded places (public squares, shopping malls, sports stadia etc). Law enforcement. Manufacturing. Smart cities & infrastructure. Construction. Retail banking/ finance Transportation & warehousing. Utilities, energy, oil & gas. Healthcare. Education. Professional sports. Media & broadcasting.   Visionbot™ – Enabling the Convergence of Cloud and AI/ ML While technology itself is evolving, computing power doubling, challenges do remain for the customer in deployment of AI/ ML.
