How is SparkCognition leveraging computer vision?

SparkCognition Visual AI Studio is an end-to-end computer vision platform consisting of proprietary visual AI technology that can autonomously understand and react to complex scenes and multi-frame activities that is compatible with multiple camera types (CCTV, PTZ, mobile devices, drones, etc.).

Visual AI Studio provides a low-code/no-code interface for quickly designing, building, and deploying computer vision solutions at scale, with over 125 out-of-the-box use cases and operator dashboard tools. Visual AI Studio is configurable for a robust set of integrated notification alerts and automated triggers, supporting web, mobile app, email, SMS, and on-site alarms.

Computer vision has enormous utility for businesses across industries, enabling organizations to generate insights and understanding from images and videos created by the billions of digital camera systems actively deployed worldwide today. Today’s top computer vision use cases are focused on driving operational excellence including automation and process improvements, risk management and safety compliance, and productivity improvements informed by visual analytics. SparkCognition’s award-winning computer vision product, Visual AI Advisor, allows customers to configure and deploy computer vision-based applications using a low-code/no-code integration framework.

Enterprise computer vision technology is the future of industrial surveillance systems—according to Garner, video analytics will be a standard element in two-thirds of new video surveillance installations by 2025.

What is computer vision?

Computer Vision (CV) is a subdomain of artificial intelligence that enables computer systems to capture and interpret meaningful information from images and video data, training machines to understand the visual world much the same way as humans do. By applying machine learning models to visual data from the real world, machines can be taught to accurately identify and classify objects and take an action based on what they “see”—for example, unlocking your smartphone when it recognizes your face or automatically steering your car out of harm’s way to avoid an accident.

The fascinating field of computer vision encompasses interdisciplinary research spanning psychology, neurobiology, cybernetics, mathematics, and computer science. Computer vision research uses a hierarchical approach to understanding visual information, building from basic tasks like detecting edges and textures to higher-level tasks like target object recognition and semantic segmentation. Deep learning is a form of representational learning that is particularly well-suited for image data sources—able to automatically extract hierarchical features with increasing complexity across its neural network layers.
