Designed to Fit the Human Environment
From Counting to Cashier-less Stores
Major traditional retail brands look for new ways to compete with the growing e-commerce competitors. Brick-and-mortar stores don’t have precise insight into their customers buying behavior. Intelligent features like detailed customer analytics or even convenience technologies like cashier-less checkout are being implemented by next-gen stores.
Real-world retail environments are large and complex spaces. Due to its large coverage HemiStereo® allows precise analytics even in wide rooms with many occluding objects.
Building Situation Aware Homes
Due to recent demographic changes many societies are facing major challenges in their elderly care systems. With more people living alone, the risk of household accidents and health-related emergencies are rising. However, AI-enabled future smart homes could mitigate risks by calling for help in case of emergency.
With HemiStereo® homes could become intelligent enough to detect and understand even complex emergency situations.
Privacy-Aware Automated Security
Millions of CCTV cameras observe public spaces around the globe. However, these cameras are only used for deterrence and forensic purposes but cannot react to threats. AI-powered security systems on the other hand could automatedly react to dangerous situations, very likely even prevent damages.
At the same time the privacy of people in the observed area must be protected. Critical data such as images, which allow personal identification, should not be sent to any remote location in the internet. Therefore, HemiStereo® integrates powerful AI computing onto the device and allows all sensitive data to be processed locally with no need for cloud-based computing.
Wide Area Coverage
Due to its hemispherical field of view HemiStereo® allows large area coverage even with low ceiling heights of 2-4 meters. With a single sensor a square ground plane of around 10m x 10m can be covered. For smaller indoor spaces such as private homes one sensor would be sufficient for one complete room. For larger spaces such as retail environments the sensing area can easily be extended by adding more sensors in a grid pattern.
Artificial Intelligence on the Edge
Full Power at the Edge
Our HemiStereo® devices integrate AI supercomputer NVIDIA® Jetson™ TX2 in order to allow real-time GPU-based inference using deep neural networks.
More Scalable, More Secure
In many use-cases of AI privacy of people must be protected. Therefore, HemiStereo® integrates powerful AI computing into the device and allows all sensitive data to be processed locally with no need for cloud-based processing. Furthermore edge-based processing improves scalability especially in bandwidth-limited applications.
Success Stories
Fall Detection for Elderly Care
HemiStereo® enables new intelligent devices which accurately detect critical situations in the living space – like immobility, inactivity, or falls. In cases of emergency nursing staff or family members can automatically be notified.
Crowd Analytics in Public Spaces
The ultra-wide field of view provided by HemiStereo® allows precise people tracking even in complex environment. Automatic crowd analytics, e.g. on trade floors helps optimize presentation layout or floor planning.
Retail Shopping Cart Tracking
With the growing numbers of self-checkout areas theft prevention becomes more important. Our partner Inferics developed a new A HemiStereo® powered shopping tracker. This allows the detection of shopping carts together with cart content estimation even in very wide entrance areas.
