Hikvision, the world’s leading provider of innovative video security products and solutions, exhibited its latest innovative technologies, products and solutions at the recently held China Public Security Expo (CPSE) 2019 in Shenzhen.
This year marked the second anniversary of Hikvision’s AI Cloud. Its presentation was dubbed ‘fusing data for a smarter world.’ It showcased its AI Cloud platform which supports integration of IoT and information network data designed to empower new intelligent applications and services.
Hikvision AI Cloud is based on a distributed architecture incorporating cloud computing and edge computing. It extends artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms from the cloud to an edge domain of on-premise video recorders and servers, and further to edge nodes with security cameras and other IoT devices. The three-layer architecture supports the goal to provide a new class of smarter and faster AI-powered applications.
CPSE 2019 saw a large number of AI cloud applications in action, which were created to help customers achieve their digital transformation in areas like public safety, transportation, retail, finance, logistics, community, environmental protection etc.
Intelligent transportation system
With AI-based video analysis technology, Hikvision’s intelligent transportation system identifies traffic violations in order to reduce the number of human injuries and fatalities. By merging video information with other systems and algorithms, traffic data can be visualized on city maps to further guide traffic and improve urban commuting.
Smart retail
Hikvision smart retail solutions address the challenges of retail business, and provides cutting-edge technologies such as video analytics, big data, cloud computing and artificial intelligence to meet the needs of offline retailers such as shopping malls, supermarkets and brand stores. The applications cover people-counting, merchandise popularity analysis, remote patrolling of stores, cashier supervision, shelf management, unmanned containers, and more.
AI-empowered cameras
At Hikvision’s booth visitors also got a close look at the innovative products contributing to AI cloud projects such as radar-integrated video cameras, and multi-lens integrated cameras to meet users’ multifunctional requirements in a single scenario.
Additionally, AI-equipped turbo HD 5.0 cameras, Easy IP 4.0 series with Hikvision’s AcuSense and ColorVu technologies, and the DeepinView deep learning cameras were displayed at the event.
Hikvision AI open platform experience
Visitors also interacted with the Hikvision AI open platform algorithm warehouse and delivery process at the event. Via an AI cloud user interface, they could experience how to select different algorithm models from the warehouse, load them on the AI camera, and perform real-time, intelligent identification and analysis of objects like potato chips, fire extinguishers, and other items.
The Hikvision AI cloud was developed to solve the real-world challenges across multiple vertical markets, and to create continuous value to the end users. The cutting-edge architecture is designed to enable collaboration between partners across edge computing, industry applications, service platforms and standard systems, and much more.
